Preschool graduation, all those years ago. The dress was an Indygo Junction pattern and I loved making it. And now this crazy year is over and Nora is a high school senior. Aaron a freshman.
Yesterday there was a lockdown of all the schools in their district (and there are a lot of schools in that district) because a woman had threatened to shoot up her kids' school. Because she had left the place where she did the threatening, the police didn't know at first which school was involved. And the day before there was a brief lockdown in Aaron's middle school.
I keep thinking of the surviving kids in that classroom in Texas. How will they ever be normal again? They can't be.
And even on the smallest scale, the elementary students here yesterday thought they would go to school and have the anticipated graduations and parties and cupcakes and what they will remember is the lockdown.

It is beyond sad and infuriating!! And those children that survived the shooting---and your grands---will be dealing with this stuff the rest of their lives. It is disgusting what the politicians in this country are doing and how they are failing at what they have taken oaths to uphold. I'm beside myself with all of the same old crap when these tragedies happen. It is blood on their hands.
