I'm Going to Hug My Children a Little Closer Tonight

One of my sweet former student's sister was kidnapped and murdered in Lubbock over the last several weeks. Her family has been through a living hell. Her mother, her amazingly kind brother Kevin, and younger brother (who was just a baby when Kevin was in my class) are now experiencing pain that I can only imagine. My far-removed pain is excruciating. I am just so sad, and so sorry that they're having to go through such a horrific situation.
