Dudette, Chips, and nath, this is so raw for all of us, and I must confess that is so raw for me because I worked with precious children daily and I saw all of the beauty of their sweet spirits, their spirits of purity of just telling it like it was in their precious little minds. Their little growing minds and bodies trying to daily cope with what we adults call life in a world torn with so much pain, heartache, adventure, and knowledge to be gathered through the lens of their little beautiful hearts and minds.

Then to realize that their little precious worlds could be torn away from them in seconds and they had no one there but that loving teacher who had to make decisions in seconds for all of them to get to a safe point in their classroom setting.

Now we must take the time, thoughts, deeds of active love and caring to help our POTUS and VPOTUS bri
ng some compassion to these parents all over our country who have had to lay their children to a grave

where their dreams, laughter, and smiles will no longer be shared with their parents, grandparents,
neighbors, teachers, friends, and their country,
well, it stretches our faith.

But I pray we here at TOD with Chips beautiful leading will hold tight to each other and help change this for all of those little ones and big ones who cannot defend themselves, then this space will serve another promising and worthwhile journey for all of our TOD Family as we support our two beautiful men in that White House. We will heal, and we will help our children to heal.

Good night everyone and love and hugs to those who are still trying to heal and help others heal. Pray for our President. His heart is heavy as we all can see, but we can give him so comfort in our collective prayers, meditation, and our work. (((((( I love you all so much)))))))). Thank you, my dear Chips.HZ

However, we are so blessed to have President Obama and VP Biden in the Oval where cool heads and beautiful hearts are at work to make sense to all parents who have children in schools and teachers who are still going to classrooms every day hoping and praying that they have someone who cares and is going to get something done about this. I still am hoping for solutions rather than pollution in all of this by sane people who have a beautiful heart to help our president and vice president. So we don’t give up on being a source to help POB help to put a beautiful smile back on a child’s face, or light up a little heart to
think and be creative in that classroom

PJ, I think decent people who express their fears about the safety of the President and his family mean well. Instead of banning them we should try to help them cope with their fears, which, by the way are not irrational fears. Some of them are probably like me who lived through the horrors of violence and assassinations in the 1960s. The fact that in a spun of just three years we went through the assassination of a President, his brother who was a presidential candidate, and the most internationally known leader of human rights, left us with scars that are not easily healed. Younger people who never experienced these tragedies may not understand our fears, but for us, they are always at the back of our minds. This is especially true because of the current toxic and violent environment which is reminiscent of the 60s’ environment. I urge you to be kind and understanding of the people who are genuinely fearful about the safety of the first family.

“Our President and VP did magnificently today!”

Yes they did! Thank you also, Bob, for your relentless and fearless tweets about the importance of regulating guns. You such an inspiration to many of us about how to be a responsible citizen.
