While I was getting ready for work this morning my mom called. Early morning phone calls are never a good thing.

My brother's girlfriend, who is pretty much my sister in law since they've been together for almost 15 years, was at the Las Vegas concert.

She's OK, but very shaken.

She was in Vegas for a girl's weekend with two of her friends, attending the country music festival. They were right in the thick of it last night, and I honestly it's by the grace of God that none of them were injured.

One of her friends, KJ, dived under the stage with about 50 other people, and the girl next to her was shot 4 times in the back.

Laura, my brother's girlfriend, was separated from the other two in the chaos, but managed to take refuge in a Hooters.

I can't even say how thankful I am that she's OK. It so easily could have been her that got shot.

I can't even imagine what she's been through, and I just hope she's OK.

Hold your loved ones close. This world is a big, scary place, and it's only by loving each other that we get through it.

Oh, that's a terrible call to get first thing in the morning. But I'm glad she's okay, even though that would have been terrifying.

Yeah, it was a hard morning to get through. She's coming home today, and I just hope she knows there is help out there if she needs it.

Oh my friend, thank you for sharing this news. I'm holding you and your family close in my heart today. What happened in Las Vegas is beyond belief.

It's horrible, what happened. And the sad thing is, nothing will change, so there will be more such incidents like this. It breaks my heart.
