{350/366|texx} Into the Light

Perhaps it’s because…I’m no stranger to grief. Maybe it’s that I’m a mommy, or that  I come from generations of educators. My guess is it’s a combination of everything. Mostly that this was just so very tragic. I cannot stop the tears from falling. For all these families, my heart aches.

Little lights floating into the night sky. The majority of the children were born the same year as my Mini-me. One of the teachers lost was born the same year as my baby sister, who’s also a teacher.  As I added each victim’s name the tears fell. I almost ran out of lights for all these precious souls…the tears continue to fall.

These 26 lives lost- are now the light. They are a part of everything and everyone.
