Me, 5th grade, 2011:

Yes, children, there is hope.

Oct. 16

"I don't know what the date is for you--what broke apart on that day, what was lost, what memories are pinned forever to that day on the calandar. But I hope that...on that day, you leave the dance floor and hold yourself open and tender to the memories for just a moment. As one who grieves today, I grieve with you, for whatever you've lost, too. For what might have been."
