Sweeping Grief
Fri, Dec 14, 2012
As a society we have a fundamental responsibility to protect our young.
This isn’t political, it’s not parent vs non-parent—it is the basic proposition of keeping the defenseless safe.
Our system is broken and kids are dying. It will take our collective willingness—our coming together despite political, social and economic differences, to fix our shared, incomprehensible reality that our children aren’t safe at school. Or at the mall. Or at the movie theatre.
Today I watched my kids’ bus come home with a mixture of horror and shameful gratitude. Every bus, every child, they should always come home.
May those sweet souls rest in peace and may their families find themselves surrounded in love and support from all of us.
On my way home.
Amen!
Incomprehensible. Truly.
Yes,
That’s all I can say, yes.

There are no words. Only sadness and all of our love for those “sweet souls”
