UNFATHOMABLE GRIEF

I taught two children how to ride the NYC subways when they were 11 years old.  By themselves.  I taught them how to go to middle schools  in Brooklyn called "ghetto schools" and to be wise and safe.  I sent them off to the heartland of America, Wisconsin and Texas where they were surrounded by kids whose families had guns, and I said "have an open mind."  But NEVER EVER could I prepare a kid to go to kindergarten and be safe from a family's dysfunction.  And evil. And a shooter.  Enough of your guns America!  Enough!!
