...The neighbor who took Christina to the Meet and Greet was also shot. She was shot three or four times - leg, abdomen and chest, I believe. She has been stabilized and is expected to recover, but her family said they don't know if she'll ever mentally recover from being the one that took Christina to the event...
She probably won't, and neither would I.
No reassurance from anyone, including Christina's family could ease the guilt of having been the one to have physically brought her there. It is aweful, but simply human nature.
Makes me think of every time I have taken a friend's child into my care, shopping, a movie or whatever...and fully expecting to bring them home safe and sound a few hours later. For this poor woman it wasn't to be, and my heart goes out to her.
