10 years ago today...

[iJenny]

15 people died in the Columbine shootings. I was at the end of my senior year of highschool, lived only 2 hours from Columbine High School, and knew two girls who were students there at the time (they weren't there that day, thank God). For me, that day ranks in the top 5 most defining days of my life and I can't believe its been TEN years.

Its hard for me to think that the students that died (14 of the 15) would be in their mid to late 20s now, like me. Some of them would have gone to college. Some of them would have gotten married, started their careers, started families...

It still breaks my heart to think about it....

I was watching an interview on Today a few minutes ago..with one girl that was in the library (her friend crouched under the desk with her died)..she's gone on to be a social worker and is in the position to help others in life altering situations with firsthand experience. Hard to believe it's been 10 years.I was in my Senior year of college when Columbine happened. A tragic day all over.

The saddest thing about her interview..i mean she seems to be in fantastic spirits and her life has turned out I'm sure a lot different than she had planned on back then..but she said she doesn't make long term goals...It struck a chord in me.

I just watched something about this yesterday...I totally remember this happening and it still breaks my heart when I think about it!!!

I can't believe it has been 10 years. That was such a tragic event.

I can't believe it's been 10 years either. I think it's one of the most tragic days in American history other than 9/11 and the OKC bombing.

[emmasmommy]

Add me to the list of people who can't believe it's been 10 years. It still just absolutely sickens me.

[Paula]

Wow, ten years already? It seems like only yesterday.

[digideb]

I seriously cannot believe it's been 10 years already! I still remember it like it were yesterday! I was only 13 & just starting high school. I was scared to go to school for weeks! Such a sad day in our history. It makes me sick to think that someone could actually do somthing like that!

[~Julie~]

I remember the day it happened. It was so scary to watch it unfold on TV. I can hardly believe its been 10 years already.

[ajf9597]

That is so sad, I didn't realize it was 10 years ago already.

[rachaelsscraps]

I didn't realize it's been 10 years already, too! Wow! Such a horrific day, but I'm sure everyone can remember it happening and what they were doing when they first heard- just like 9/11. Terrible!

WOW! Ten years seems like such a long time ago and it seems like it just happened. Such a tragic and sad story.

[Jennifer]

10 years....that's so hard to believe. Such a tragic, tragic event. I'll be thinking of and praying for all the families involved today.

[newfiemountiewife]

I remember watching the whole thing on tv, and it was so shocking. I cannot believe how fast 10 years can go by.

[Rae's World]

I know I will always remember that day.

[Becca Bonneville]

Wow! It really doesn't seem like it has been that long. What a terrible tragedy that was! I can still remember seeing it on the news like it happened yesterday!

[kscwgirl]

I can't believe it's been 10 years.

[scrapperjade]

10 years already... it does seem like it just happened. Its so sad. I was in grade 10 when it happened and I remember the shock that was felt all through the school, even though we were in Canada.

Time has gone by so quickly (at least for those of not immediately affected). Yesterday was actually the 14th anniversary of the Murrah bombing here in OKC, and today is 10 for Columbine...I can still remember where I was when I heard about both. Both heartbreaking, and I hope that we never forget those lives lost.
