I was shocked & a little ticked when I heard about the disaster today, first,
'cause it feels like the world's been sucker-punched by tragedy twice within
the last 1 1/2 yrs. (WTC & Columbia), but also because of the 2 shuttle
accidents I've seen in my life, & I'm still 'young' (29). I was in 6th grade
when The Challenger blew up, & Iremember how bad I felt even at that age- well,
today was no different. I offer my prayers to the honored deceased & their
families.
