Well, I clicked that little heart, because that's what one does. But, like Kara Norman in her comment, I'm speechless too. You've imbued every word with *your* heart, not that emoji-heart up there. So much pain, Elissa, and so much powerlessness. So much beauty, and so much power. Thank you.

Thank you for this. I like many others will not forget how we heard, where we were when we heard, what we were doing when we heard, and how we felt. However as you beautifully point out, I too assumed that the aftermath would be different. I assumed change. I could have never, ever imagined the putrid, hate filled spreaders of the hoax conspiracy theories. I could have never, ever imagined no change for a national gun policy. This was beautiful and halting to read.
