Well, he came here cause the kid's are just 8 and 6...Anna "caught" me making the baskets in my room the night before and now she knows, "the truth!"...she had been questioning me all week about it anyways...she vowed not to tell her brother! I bought Bob and me s/f jelly beans and chocolate bunny...but, that didn't stop me from "tasting" the real stuff! I'm not sweating it....I got it out of my system... The only thing I crave the last five months or so (all the time) is black licorice or anything flavored with anise (same flavor as black licorice). I can't figure this out at all... Paula

That is what I am doing...... Spending time with my kids, hugging them re affirming them, letting them know how much they are loved and adored no matter what.... listening to them... My heart crys for the parents....... the first childs parent were seperated, and unfortuately this didnt come as a major surprise to the Music teacher at school... they tried to get him help, and even helped him with homework @ school.... The second child was a friend of the first.... His PARENTS has NO IDEA, nor did the school, as the counselors said they had extra counselors that went in and talked to ALL the kids.......... sometimes wish that those boys could see how so many people are hurt from what they did.... they want to escape, but the damage left behind.....ohhhhhhh.............my heart crys... My biological grandfather comitted suicide (gun, I never knew him), so this SCARES me to death...... I am a CHRISTIAN, and I KNOW FEAR is not of the LORD....... I have been praying VERY hard, and just wanting to HOLD ON to my kids for DEAR LIFE, SQUEEZE them and never let them go....... I have gotten pray from my PASTOR, and he affirmed to me, that he feels my kids have a FIRM foundation in the LORD and that they will get through this too... My church is also praying..

My 12 & 13 year old go to the same Junior High, and 1 child cut his throat, and within 2 weeks later the other (a friend of previous), tried to hang himself. At the first try he failed, but ended up brian dead, and on friday he passed.......... This is a TERRIBLE situation, and has taken my kids and the kids at their school really hard..... Please PRAY for healing..... The people that leave this world, so don't understand what they leave behind..... I think if they did, it would make the WORLD of a difference....... Thanks for Keeping Apollo Junior High in your prayers..... Tanya
