Five years ago today god-daughter Victoria had just finished taking a test for her Nursing degree at Northern Illinois University and went to pick up Kyra, then only 1, at the daycare center. Little did she dream that she would spend the next hour and a half locked in a bathroom with ten toddlers and six adults as a gunman went on a shooting spree that killed five bright and innocent souls and injured many others (her words).So many other senseless acts of violence have supplanted this incident in the public eye yet it will forever be remembered by the terrified survivors and the friends and families of the victims. Victoria said she was anxious about going back on the campus - many others never returned - but she was determined to not let a maniac control her future.
Enough already. Enough.
