"Loved One during NIU Massacre"

It was February 14th a clear day in Southern California. Everything was running smoothly throughout the day. I turned on the radio as I drove home when I heard on the radio that there had been a shooting at Nothern Illinois University. I heard that their were students injured. I knew my daughter was in school that day but I had no idea where she was or if she was one of the injured. I prayed to god hoping that she was o.k. and not injured. I parked grabbed my cell and called her cell. Please pick, please pick up. The phone was not getting in any calls, there was some interference with the lines. I tried several times but, no answer. I hurried home to call her form the house phone. As I was driving, I was asking myself "Why?" I got home called my daughter and with a relief, I heard her voice telling me"Mom, I am o.k." She told me afterwards that one of her classes was canceled and left school early. I was so thankful at that point that she was fine and that her class was canceled. It was not meant for her to be there at the time of the shooting. The gunman killed five students that were in class at that time.
