Our phones started going off about 4:30am this morning to check on whether the girls had gone to the premiere of the Batman movie as planned. None of them decided to go to the midnight showing of the movie. Then we started getting phone calls and texts about people whom we knew HAD gone. Thankfully, all are accounted for but it makes you stop and think. I’ve had other parents say “I would never let my child go to a midnight show” and that is certainly one choice. Our girls have worked hard and were originally planning to go with groups of other “good kids.” There is no way to anticipate a tragedy such as this… Columbine happened during lunch at the high school.
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone!
