I am seriously numb. He is not related by blood, but my MIL remarried two years ago and both DH and I are very close to her new husband (who is David's uncle). David's grandmother is like a great-grandmother to my kids. We met David at the wedding two summers ago...such a sweet young man with so much going in his life. He talked about college and had an overall happiness about life. I'm just so sad. When DH told me, I ran and grabbed my boys and just cried. What has our world come to? My MIL and step-FIL are in Boise right now. They did an autopsy yesterday...we haven't heard the results. It is just so strange. I had only met him once, but he certainly didn't seem like the type to be involved with a gang, etc. I'm speechless...I keep thinking, this could be one of my boys. My heart aches for his parents.

Here is the story
David

Please put David and his family in your prayers. Thanks

Thanks for your prayers

MoonMama replied: Oh Rae, I am so sorry. Let me know if there is anything I can do. Sending lots of thoughts and prayers.

Thanks Ally, but there is nothing even I can do. I'm going to send some cards and flowers to the family, but that's all I can really do at this point. We are not close enough to go to the funeral.

Please just keep praying that the world will get better and tragic things such as this will stop happening! It just doesn't make any sense.
