 Do you believe in God? page 5 by ric gustafson

The first fear I had to face was going to the cemetery. Watching your daughter being lowered into a grave is one thing. Coming back to the cemetery is another. When I come there, I hope Cassie sees me and knows that I still love her and care about her.

My second fear was knowing I had to come back to Columbine High School. We were the first parents to come back to the scene of the shooting. We saw blood, broken glass and bullet holes. After an hour, I had seen enough. I was in shock.

Right now, helping others helps me. The ones coming up to us the most are Cassie's classmates and youth group friends from church. We share common pain. We work through the same grief.

Was my daughter's death without a purpose?. Was it part of a divine plan by God?. Was my daughter's death a senseless tragedy?.

The pain of her loss is intense.
