I know. Awful. It seems to be a mall, a street corner or schools etc. It deeply saddens me that my children are not growing up and living in a world of assumed safety. The fact that we have talked about, “know your exits”, “what are you options if there was a shooter in your school?” Talking about survival skills in the face of violence is never something I imagined we’d be doing as a family. Worst of all, I feel as if things will never return to the way life used to be.
