I still think about the shooting that took place blocks from where I work, having taken an early lunch with no clue as to what was happening, and being locked out of my office building. But it was me, not my child. One of my husband’s cousins teaches high school a half hour from MSD. I can’t begin to imagine what you went through that day. I only had a tiny tiny taste.The Parkland students are the answer to our thoughts and prayers.

I'll never forget that horrible day and the panic we all felt. Thankfully, my own kids never had to experience it, but two of my kids are now teachers, so of course I worry. I am so proud of the MSD students----I truly believe they will be the change we need. I'd love to see them all in office one day and to turn the current administration upside down!menopausal mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058933838070665032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199397575911294318.post-80603734078393219232018-04-13T12:05:49.132-05:002018-04-13T12:05:49.132-05:00I did see it and I'm glad that companies are f...I did see it and I'm glad that companies are finally taking a stand for the children.

I think the rest is up to us voters. Did you see what Bank of America announced this week? They will no longer bank with people who make these types of guns.
