Holding our breath
We live in a small town in Southwest, Minnesota. There was an accident involving a school bus this afternoon in which three kids were killed, a few are in critical condition, and lots were injured.
Since this is such a small community, we know that we will know the families that lost their children. They have not released any names yet, so we are holding our breath, terrified about who it might be.
We keep hearing Life-flight helicopters flying over. This is awful.

*I'm saying a little prayer...
I hate to know when people are hurt or killed, but when it's kids, it just breaks my heart. My heart goes out to those families...

Gosh, how awful. Sounds like the ending to my week last week with the 2 greyhound buses here rolling over....nobody here killed and my heart sinks to think that children died in the accident by you. Take Care and special prayers out to your community.

Mike - it is sooo sad. I am praying there aren't more casualties. Horrible that not only did at least one child die but that all the others saw it.
