Timeline of our Children Marked by Monsters

April 15, 2013

Sincerely heartbroken that the timeline of our children’s childhoods is marked forever by the actions of monsters. As I read the first breaking news I hoped it was not a bomb and was saddened by the fact that it probably was. Tragedies that marked my childhood, it seems, were indeed tragedies and not horrific acts [...]

April 12, 2013

Tonight our little guy has been walking back and fourth through the house and each time he passes he has on more camo and gear. I’m just waiting to see what this is about. “I need a camera man” “Can you record screaming sounds over video I tape?” “I might need to turn Lilly into [...]

Tragedies chip away at childhood. Yesterday I kept reading stories of children hearing about the Newtown tragedy incident from other children or teachers at school.
