I sometimes prep these updates 1 or 2 days in advance if I know I’m going to be busy on Sunday (and provided the page is actually done) so I said nothing about Orlando and that didn’t sit right. But after a week to process, I still don’t know what to say. My little twins turn 5 today. I can’t imagine them in a world where senseless and disgusting things like that happen. I can’t imagine the shooter was ever an innocent little 5 year old himself, but he was. How do people become so damaged/angry/bigoted? I think it was a Dennis Leary quote maybe about how the only thing his son hates is bedtime, all that other horrible stuff has to be taught to children… another thing I can’t imagine.
Happy Birthday Evan and Owen… I hope you can hold onto your innocence as long as possible :(
