As I signed onto Facebook last night, it was immediately apparent that something very bad was happening in my hometown of Petaluma. The wagons seemed to be circling around the Baucom family, who had suffered an unimaginable tragedy, and one that I had a trouble wrapping my head around as the story was unfolding.
So much trouble, in fact, that I am still finding myself unable to fully express what I want, so I'm going to borrow a quote from another fellow Petaluman and blogger Katie Walters, who captured it perfectly with two simple sentences:
"What began in a place of love, ended in tragic proportions only found in the movies. Or a fitful nightmare."
The Baucom and Conover families have my sincerest condolences.
