I was just commenting on Lt's blog that I cannot remember anything that has made me so sad ever, except when we lost our granddaughter in March. I walked into my classroom on Monday the 17th like I was walking on sacred ground. A school is a holy place, if only because of the innocence of the children that walk the halls.

I'm simply heartbroken by this tragedy. I look at my 6 yr old (and 4 yr old and 2 yr old and 4 month old) with different eyes these days. The only good I can take from this situation is to make the kinds of changes in my parenting that you describe, in order to not waste a minute of my children's precious lives. May we always remember this lesson long after this tragedy is forgotten.
