Found on Facebook.

On Edit: this was not written by the mother, so I removed it.

My apologies.

[mcar]

1. My god

No words.

[Butterflylady]

2. ............

[StarryNite]

3. I have no words to express my sorrow after reading that.

[brer cat]

4. So painful to read; a thousand times more painful to write.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

5. Damn, this is so crushing ...

[Srkdqltr]

6. I couldn't see the end through tears. Maybe I can finish it later.

[3catwoman3]

7. How powerful. How heart wrenching.

It there were a Pulitzer Prize for eloquent grief, this would win.

[Ohio Joe]

8. ...

[raccoon]

9. That is so powerful.

Some Democratic Congress person or senator must read it in their respective house of Congress.

The Republicans need to hear it.

Everybody in this country needs to hear it.

[cilla4progress]

27. Good idea.

Biden can.

[questionseverything]

10. The people that let this happen must be punished

[fierywoman]

12. Someone PLEASE read this in the House of Reps and in the Senate. And on goddamned Faux

Entertainment.

13. Should be a required Sunday reading in every church in the USA...

... 21 weeks

[Cozmo]

14. I am so sorry that republican fascism has become such a huge part of the fabric that is our country

They must be stopped and voted out of office so they can no longer profit off the souls of our children.

[dem in texas]

21. YES, YES, YES!

Get the bastards out of office. Their solution is to turn schools into the same as jails; with guards, guns, locking doors and teachers toting guns in the classrooms!

To Anyone reading this Mom's Letter - Go Vote! Don't miss any election This means local, county, state and national. Right now, the USA governing system is rotten from the US capital to the the local level.

15. In the idle time now the mind ponders such questions. You don't want them to come but

they do anyway. Incessant questions about mundane things that happen every day but which now don’t matter in the blur of sunrises and sunsets.

When will she notice or even care about another sunrise?

And My God why are we in such a horrible situation that we even have to ask?

Fix the GOD DAMN problem!!!!

16. I had a friend . . .

. . . a member of a community I belong to, whose daughter was also a member and was murdered in the Thousand Oaks slaughter.

I know that she will never have another good day. The pain will never go away.

17. Would love to see the original link for this.

[Ms. Toad]

23. I've been searching for one - haven't found it.

Even if not written by the mother, it is powerful - but I wasn't comfortable sharing it without being able to track down the attribution to the mother.

[Fla Dem]

20. I cannot begin to imagine the anguish and sorrow these parents are going through.

[NNadir]

22. How anyone could read this without weeping is beyond me.

[Raster]

24. ...

[MagickMuffin]

25. I also have a list of questions, I thought about while chopping invasive Privot shrubs from my yard

Using my hand pick axe and using the force of my swing to honor those killed by weapons of mass destruction.

All the events never to be experienced

First kiss

First date

Marriage

Children

First job, what field of work would they have chosen?


ALL THE FIRST STOLEN FROM THEM, and curesty of the Pro-Death Party.

My heart continues to 💔 for the murdered and the families that are left behind. I can't imagine their pain. But this mother's questions tell that story.

[cilla4progress]

26. I think about these things in the abstract -

the smell of the beloved lost one, still on her clothes. Even the DNA, the messes.

I hope this goes viral.

But with the psychopaths in charge, would it make a dent?

[catrose]

28. It was still a good poem. I read it with all the disclaimers & names removed

It was still moving.

[txwhitedove]

29. Even if not from actual Uvalde mother, this could have been from any Uvalde parent.

Could have been written by any parent after such an overwhelming horror. Entirely relevant and heartrending.

[Richard D]

30. I agree. Incredibly moving.

But on the mother's facebook page, she asked that it be taken down.
I'm respecting that.
