Had a hell of a day yesterday.
A client came in visibly upset. I'd never met her, so I got her into the treatment room and as soon as I closed the door her tears started rolling. I sat her down and encouraged her to let me know what was going on, so she took a deep breath and said
"My brother was the NIU shooter."
I was floored. I spent an hour and a half with her (I worked through my break to spend more time working on her) and her story tore me in half. What she and her family are going through right now is something I wouldn't wish on the worst of the worst.
... I can't imagine.

It seems like it's been a rough week for everyone (except my buddy Louis who insists on making me irritated with his joviality. Bastard).
