I talk to the trees Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 She was DD’s age. I watched this kid grow up alongside my dd at their dance studio. I didn’t know her or her family well, and she and dd weren’t best buddies or anything, but still…it’s surreal. I can’t wrap my head around it. I grew up here. Shootings were almost unheard of when I was in school. Now we have had literally dozens so far in 2021. Why? Just why? 72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk to the trees Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) They finally released her name to the news outlets. All day I have just been hoping that DD’s dance instructor somehow got it wrong, that there was some mixup. Sadly, that’s not the case. 😔 Thanks for all the kind words, guys. My heart is just broken for her family. Edited September 17, 2021 by I talk to the trees 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I'm so sorry. Gun violence is on the rise anyway and the pandemic seems to have heightened it in many areas. It's much more violent here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-rap Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I'm so very sorry. When my oldest kids were babes, this would be unheard of. Now, I sometimes hear gunshots at night and then go back to sleep. Guns are terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
