Mourning the Loss of Childhood Innocence

Our children do not live in the world that we grew up in. It is not just the reliance on phones and computers.

Texas Massacre Is the Second-Deadliest School Shooting on Record

As a mother of 4 teens in high school and in the wake of yesterday’s shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, I am horrified to read of the deaths of so many children taken so young in this tragedy and the two teachers that were in the same classroom by an 18-year-old student from the nearby high school.

I first saw the above graphic after the Parkland, Florida, and Santa Fe, Texas, school shootings in 2018. I argued with the celebrity who posted this that the family of the victims in these two school shootings indeed needed our prayers and thoughts because of the loss of life. I also agreed with him that we needed policy and change to prevent further loss of lives.
