Another Day in America

Another school shooting today. Another reminder that we aren’t safe anywhere. Another reason for kids to tense up at every noise, for every social media post to be triple and quadruple analyzed, for teachers and parents to feel paralyzed with fear. Another in a long line of never ending messages that this earth is not a place of peace. 

My kids are all snug in their beds upstairs and three families are mourning theirs tonight.

Columbine happened 20 years ago. The entire world STOPPED. I’ve been on and off my phone and with other people all day long and the first I heard of this was ten minutes ago.

This is where we are. It’s just a blip on our radar now. Another senseless act of violence. Another massacre of children in school. Another day in America.
