Henry here is flying (by himself) to Utah for a cousin ski weekend. He’s flying through the air right now-alone. I can’t think about it. Also, yesterday we realized when we went shopping for new shoes before his flight that we officially have the same size feet (mens 6, womens 8)- what happened to my little boy? Man, I can’t handle life. Here are some links to explore:
Weekend Roundup
Like many of you, I’m devastated by yet another massive shooting here in the US. A great roundup of major issues around gun control on Design Mom, an interesting article here about why we congress can’t seem to take action. Also, I love what this teacher’s been doing since Columbine.
Also, here are some courses of action: how to help the community, consider a donation to Everytown, how to contact your representatives about gun control legislation.
Also, what mental health experts say to their kids about school shootings.
And, please, if you have other ideas of how to help, please share.
