What a tragic day December 5th was for Omaha. When I heard there was somone in Westroads shooting at people, my pulse began to quicken. Eric was out shopping for work that day & I had just gotten back from the Mall. I turned on my T.V. and just watched in horror as the news started breaking into local programing. Our phone began to ring...flooded with calls from family and friends.
I prayed to God and thanked Him. Thanked Him that Tatum was just a little cranky that day, leading me t believe that we should just go home for her nap, thanked Him for Eric's safe return to work, and I thanked Him for the rest of my family and friends safety.
I then found myself saying the "please" prayer. please don't let any of my friends, or their families be in there. Please don't let any children be hurt or killed, please protect the people there and please help the police and responders and watch over them.
I ended up not knowing anyone, personally, who was in Von Maur that day. This does not make me feel much better. Anyone of the people who lost their life so suddenly could have been myself, my family members or my friends. The fact of the matter is that they were someones family member or friend.
In the end my prayer is the God will sustain these families thru this most horrible and difficult time.
