Part of growing older is learning that life can be unfair.
As a parent, I want my kids to be able to be kids for a while. I don’t want to explain why they do drills at school where they barricade themselves in a classroom. Or come up with reasons for a teenager wanting to fire a gun into a crowd.
Coping with senseless violence is awful. Dealing with that reality as a child is a tragedy on top of a disaster.
My heart breaks for today’s youth.
