Grandmothers Unite

Don't become numb to school shootings! Imagine, a 2nd grader called 911 and the shooter was a 15 year old girl.

"The most school shootings in a year.
According to a CNN analysis, this is the 83rd school shooting in the United States this year. That means 2024 has surpassed 2023 for the most school shootings in a single calendar year since the outlet began tracking these events in 2008.

It is very unusual for the perpetrators to be female. According to the K-12 School Shooting Database, when gender was identified, nine of this year’s shooting suspects were female, versus 249 who were male."

I always loved this

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

~ Khalil Gibran ~
