One of the saddest things for me is that my daughter, who is in college, now feels like she could be the next to go and is living afraid. I just talk to her about the randomness of these horrific acts, how to be smart and keep yourself safe when you can, and mostly why this is the reason to strive to always live your best life in the now. We risk our lives everyday doing mundane things, like driving, that have much higher death rates than school shootings, yet seldom think twice about driving. However, the very nature of an intentional, violent act makes that seem more dangerous. Definitely more heinous.

Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation.
