Read on Twitter
Every year I’ve had twitter, I’ve done a day of remembrance 26 days before the worst day. Maybe it’s because we’re in a new home but I didn’t realize we were so close.
I’ll do a name a day, with a few extra today. Thank you for learning about my daughter’s friends + educators.

When I don’t know how a family wants their loved one honored (especially a small child) I just say their name and lift up their family. Like a prayer.
