My son was at Ocean Isle Beach just 2 weekends ago, in the same situation, spending Fall Break at a friend's private beach house. My heart goes out to these families. I have been reminded everyday since Sunday to thank God for my son, and remind him of how much I love him. Regardless of the activities these students may have participated in that day, they are sons and daughters of someone just like me. They were promising young lives ready to embark on their dreams, and their parents are now facing another path that none of us can plan for. I'm thinking and praying for all of the families involved.
