Another Senseless Tragedy
As a mom and a grandmother, I am numb, angry, frustrated, and heartbroken. I consider myself to be a woman of faith, hope and optimism, but honestly today I am struggling to find that space. Today I am a woman who has been knocked to the ground, a woman who is feeling despair. I don’t…
