In memory of Dale Regan

Two years ago today I received this text message from my daughter, "Mom I'm really scared, the school is on lockdown, and I have been on the floor in the library for almost an hour. Someone has been shot." This is a parents worse nightmare.

My daughter's school principal was shot and killed in her office by a former teacher who had been fired that morning. He then killed himself. The schools website posted this, "It is with great sadness that we mourn the death of Dale Regan, our beloved Head of School. Dale died in an unspeakable tragedy today. We will spend the rest of the week counseling and comforting our student body and faculty and staff. Please pray for Dale’s family and for the Episcopal Community. Dale has devoted her entire life to this School as a teacher and administrator. She is known for her gentle, wise, leadership. Dale was a life-time educator, beginning her career in education in 1970."

It is odd to me that two years has already passed since this tragedy. It seems life a life-time ago. Remember how short life is and cherish each moment. Give your kids a hug before they go to school, you never know what kind of day they are going to have.
