Please Help Honour Emily Keyes
Emily Keyes is the girl who was shot in a Colorado high school yesterday by a crazed gunman. The death of a 16 year old girl in such a senseless way is a real tragedy, which should not go unmarked. I think it is fitting that everyone honour her memory in the way requested by her family.
The following quote is taken from Yahoo! News / Associated Press: "In memory of Emily we would like everyone to go out and do random acts of kindness, random acts of love to your friends or your neighbors or your fellow students because there is no way to make sense of this," Gonzalez [speaking for Emily's family] said. "It's what Emily would have wanted."
It's a pretty good way to honour anyone, in my opinion, and if that's what Emily would have wanted, then I hope that's what she gets. I want to thank all my readers in advance, on Emily's behalf, for their efforts to honour her.

everytime i check the news...
there is always something about someone who was murdered
and lately,
it's been happening in schools a lot.
suddenly i don't feel like school is a safe place anymore : /
I'll pray for her and her family.
i learned about this news last night. and the first thing i did today is google it to learn more about what happened. i couldn't find anything. thanks for posting this in your blog. doing a random act of kindness for sure will be a top priority. i pray for emily keyes and her family.
I will do that, WA.
For my own soul & the world's.
Thy, I understand how you feel; I'd feel the same way if I were still in school. It is awful that the world seems to be this way lately. There seems nothing we can do about it. I wish there were. I'm sorry this is upsetting for you, and I'll pray that you will remain safe.
It was very, very sad. I hear this morning that she may also have been molested before being shot. Where does such evil come from? I will, out of respect today, pass a little kindness on somewhere. RIP Emily Keyes.
