I find that when you are closer to something like this it affects us much more. I can read about all the deaths I want and its just another death, it has no bearing on my actual life. But when it affects someone we know, or its near an area that we are it strikes so much closer to home.
I guess the last thing that really affected me like this is when a little kid died in a school bus crash on the way to school in the morning. I kept thinking about how her mother probably said goodbye to her like every other morning, but only this morning was the last time it would ever happen. I kept thinking about how that can happen to anyone, and how sad it must be for them. I thought about my friends son, and if that were to happen to him on the way to school. I guess it really shook me up, and I did not even know the people.
