Ineffable
I cannot imagine being the parents of Kelsey Smith. I cannot imagine being one of her siblings or her friends, her grandparents, her anything. I can't imagine what they must be going through.
I hope they find this guy. I hope justice is done.
But, really, what is justice? How is there justice for a life cut short, dreams stolen and crushed, lives ruined? What could be justice? How do we protect our children, our babies, our emerging young adults? So scary.

And we would think Kansas is a safe mid-American state.

I'm not so sure that we can protect them. We can only teach them and cross our fingers.

crystal, I try not to feel all the things you mentioned, but the truth is....it's almost impossible not to. I can't imagine sitting there, looking at my child's murderer, and being able to keep my seat. It's beyond comprehension.
yep, there is no guaranteed safe place. We can only do so much. So scary.
