Such a strong piece of writing Linda on such a heartbreaking story...a nightmare of a reality for so many families. Thank you so much for taking on such a heavy topic and trying to find a light out of the darkness into a place where no more lives should be taken.......It's hell to think this is allowed to happen in 2023. Sending love to all the grieving families and all those hurt and scarred from this trauma and nightmare and really hope change comes soon before we lose anyone else x

Linda,

I am taking my time going through your lists on my daily jaunts in the woods here.

Such a sad story I listened through, although beautifully stated.

I hate to say almost a year later I barely remembered this tragedy as it is so sadly happening all the time here.

My son is a special Ed teacher in a high school here in Mass and I have to shelve thinking about these things as he has already had a false alarm at his school in a lockdown that was terrifying to him and the kids.

God bless and thank you for opening my eyes a bit more.

Chris

Thankfully I have no way to understand the pain and trauma caused by these school shootings, but your piece brings it vididly to life. It is so heartbreaking, my thoughts and prayers are with you all - there is no difference I can make to the gun laws from my side of the pond.
