- In a recent missive mcintosh@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu (aubrey mcintosh) tells us:
-
- ...
-
- >In my own case, I went to the carport door, opened it, and called the cat.
- >Guess what! He came. It terrified me, since my daughter and I were gunshot
- >8 weeks ago today, and her boyfriend had just appeared from the same
- >direction at that same door and started shooting.
-
- >I'm not generally terrified or unable to go about life,
- >except that anytime I am idle, such as riding the bus, I replay the call
- >to 911.
-
- >Life is indeed fragile, and I don't know why I'm here. I don't know why
- >my daughter is gone. But even before the shooting it was possible for us
- >to be killed in a car wreck on the way home, and I pretty much go about
- >life even with that possibility in the background.

- I would never mention these things openly, had not Aubrey himself
- brought them up.
-
- Aubrey, you are a constant source of amazement and inspiration to me.
- That you are here, extending a hand of support, drawing from your own
- experience, after your own recent loss, and horrifying ordeal, speaks
- sheer volumes as to the kind of human being you are. One I am damned
- proud to be associated with.
-
- I only hope that the rest of us here can learn from you, and also can
- give to you the support that you are so willing to give to others.
-
- With intense admiration,
-
- Annie
