Mood:  don't ask

I'd like to ask all of you to pray for the family of some of the kids that go to the childcare center where I work.  The other day, the mother was shot and killed by the father of the children and then the father turned the gun on and killed himself. 

The couple had 7 children with an 8th on the way.

The mother was the breadwinner of the family and had just completed college and started her own catering business.  She was doing the right thing for her children.  It's so tragic that this had to happen to her.

The youngest child was in the house for the whole event, the older children were able to flee to safety at a neighbor's house.

Please pray for these children who now have no father or mother.

How do you explain to a child that their mother and father are no longer going to be here for them???
