It's difficult to share this day we spent in Uvalde on the Journey for Justice. It was a heartbreaking, emotional day visiting the tributes at the school and park. The photos and faded flowers and momentos reduced me to tears. When will life be valued over the right to own such lethal toys. When will the lives of all children be valued equally. Several family members bravely spoke of their pain and resolve to change the laws. I know that I can't come close to imagining their pain.

Uvalde has murals, beautiful murals, of each child. To experience the beauty of these children and understand the loss is part of these works of art.
