IT. JUST. HURTS.

Driving to school this morning was different.

My head – usually preoccupied with thoughts of assignments, grades, “did I remember my lunch,” “do we have a meeting, “I need coffee” – was all consumed with fear, worry, anger…

And my heart, OH MY HEART…

It was drowning in sadness.

School is
a place of Learning…
a place of Joy…
a place of Hope…
a PLACE of SAFETY…

At least it SHOULD BE!

Yesterday, that joy, hope and safety were taken away.

My heart hurts.

It hurts for the children who lost their lives.

It hurts for the parents who lost their children.

It hurts for the teachers who didn’t make it home.

It hurts for the students who had their innocence ripped away and are now afraid to go to school.

It hurts for Uvalde, Texas, Our Country, Our WORLD…

IT. JUST. HURTS.
