Twenty-three years of Columbine

We're coming up to that time of year again - less than two months to go until the anniversary of the massacre.

So much time has passed that there are now college graduates who were not yet born on April 20, 1999.

There people who were born around the time columbine happened who are married and have kids its crazy.

I think Steven Curnow would be in his mid 30's now and he is kind of ingrained in our minds a 14 year old boy..

I cannot believe it's been 23 years.

The Rampart Range video is filmed:

I just turned 15 April 3rd when it happened, I don't remember hearing about it tho.

Thursday, March 25, 1999

Dylan and his family drive to Arizona to pick out his dorm room.

From my perspective, the last few years in particular have flown by in such a crazy way. Weirdly I have clear memories of the last few April 20th's.

This is the first year since I moved to the area that I won't be able to go to the memorial the day of

So, I will try to go the day before or after.

One week to go.

What was it like for them, going through all the motions of daily life, knowing that they were about to unleash so much misery on so many people? Did they ever pause to give any thought to the sheer amount of human suffering they were planning to bring about? Or did it just not seem important to them?

Monday, April 19, 1999

This was the last full day of their lives.

I'm going to the memorial tomorrow morning to pay my respects.

No matter how long it has been, I always feel sad today. It is probably because of the friends I made, the work I do and how much if affected many of us back then. It was something that affected me a lot, and I'm grateful for my friend who was there, they made me feel less weird because they understood why.

I can't make it to the memorial until tomorrow I usually get flowers and take a walk around the park.

23 years of hell for me. I will never forget this day. They say time heals wounds .... not tue

Tuesday, April 20, 1999 - 10:30 a.m.

Less than an hour to go now.

I like to believe that, up until the moment they started firing, Eric and Dylan could have been saved. But that's probably wishful thinking.

Here's a timeline of the events of 4/20:

Tuesday, April 20, 1999 - 11:20 a.m.

The killing has begun. Eric and Dylan are murderers now.

In the next few minutes, Cassie Bernall, Steve Curnow, Corey DePooter, Kelly Fleming, Matt Kechter, Daniel Mauser, Daniel Rohrbough, Rachel Scott, Isaiah Shoels, John Tomlin, Lauren Townsend, and Kyle Velasquez will all die. (Some of them are already dead.)

Dave Sanders will linger on for a couple of hours before bleeding to death.

All the while, hundreds of cops will stand outside the school, doing nothing.

I went today! I brought flowers and took time to reflect. I always have the strange fear that the families are going to see a lot more flowers on someone else’s plaque or gravestone than other Victims. I remember on the 19th Rachel’s grave is next to Coreys Rachel had an abundance of flowers and Cory did not have as much so I put down a whole bouquet of tulips.

I am freaked out by something. I double checked to see if this might be the same person, but you know that girl who has an infatuation with Corey? ?forever my souljer I think she may have been here yesterday or today. Because someone wrote on the path up to rebel hell wrote something about how I never met you Corey but I love you forever yours…

Is it 2027 that more documents possibly get released? Will be interesting to see
