Perhaps because we work in the education world & cannot even imagine how it could be. I am so sad for all who lost their loved ones. Thank you Myra. I think the poem is a treasure. And I am excited about the challenge too.

I can't stop crying when I watched the news about the school shooting. I don't know why I was so affected by it, but I simply couldn't stop the tears from flowing. So much darkness. But there is also so much light, I try to hold on to that thought.<br /><br />I am also very happy that you have decided to join the AWB Reading Challenge yet again! Very very thrilled. :) I hope you have a glorious New Year, dearest Linda!GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-91870475542562321272013-01-01T22:12:37.669-07:002013-01-01T22:12:37.669-07:00Thanks Amy, I appreciate your compliment.
