“Things don’t happen. Things are made to happen.” -John F Kennedy I read this quote two days ago when it came in an email along with the lunch menu and after school activities in the Metcalf Jr High newsletter.

Not Again
Jesus Christ. I can follow the logic but I don’t understand. HOW does this keep happening? I am crying and shaking with anger after reading a story about a mother having to bury her THIRD son, all lost to heroin. I feel so defeated. I can stand on my soapbox and preach all I wantContinue reading “Not Again”
