My mom called me at 2 pm to tell me to check the news, and I was absolutely stunned and horrified at what I saw on television. I couldn't stop crying as I watched for hours and hours, on the phone with a few friends of mine, and I was really worried for everyone at Dawson and the surroundings. It was a relief to hear that the theatre kids were safe, but it's still absolutely shocking and heartbreaking that anything like this could happen at Dawson with people we love, in a place so close to home, where we spend/spent so much time.
To everyone in Montreal: I just want to tell you all that I love you so much, and you have my thoughts and prayers. If you want to talk, or if there's anything I can do, let me know and I'll do whatever I can. I'm still really shaken up, so I can hardly imagine how those of you who were at and around Dawson today must feel. And for you Concordia folks and anyone else, thank you so much for pulling together and bringing support to the Dawsonites quickly and efficiently. We're a community and that is what we need to do: pull together and support one another right now.
It's just so weird, I mean a friend of mine called me last night and I was telling him how much I miss it, and how I can't wait to go back and visit. I've been thinking about visiting since the school year started, basically, and it's just like... ugh I can't believe I'm crying again but I'm so shaken up, I mean I just can't believe that this would happen. My mom was flooded with calls at work from our relatives, asking if I was safe at home and if I was okay. It was really touching, but I don't know.
I can't stop thinking about it. I start crying every time I read another article or account of what happened. It just doesn't make sense to me, I don't understand why someone would do this. I can't believe one of the victims is dead. I'm just praying that all of the other victims pull through. but it's so weird, I mean, I never ever ever ever EVER would have imagined that something like this would happen. Dawson is such a peaceful place, such a strong and nice community. I mean, I JUST graduated from there. What did someone do to this poor man that he had to come into the school with a rifle or a machine gun or whatever the hell he had and SHOOT these people? It feels so unbelievable, like it couldn't have actually happened. It's been on the news all day and one of the images they showed was of one of the entrances and there was blood on the stairs. That's not going to come out. People are not going to feel safe there anymore. And it's so sad and scary, it's so heartbreaking. I don't know.
