Today everyone at the schools was asked to wear blue to show support. My son didn't wear blue. He is wearing his UNC Charlotte shirt. He's the only member of his hs class going to Charlotte in the fall. The shooting there was either the day of or the day after commitments were due. We had already said yes. And a month later, here we are.
Thanks for letting me vent. I think I can handle the inevitable questions from the next couple of meetings now.
@butch My daughter wore blue and black. She felt the blue alone to signify unity in support did not adequately express the sorrow of so many being killed.
I told her that grief is natural, but life is for the living and we owe it to everyone whose lives were taken to enjoy every moment of every day that we do have.
