Once our home and now our adopted city has been struck with a devastating blow of hatred. As we watched everything unfold on the news and as I heard from our friends at Baylor, I couldn't help but cry. Explaining this event and the actions of 1 man to our daughter was hard. How do you answer the question "why?" when you don't know the answer? We have taught her to respect and admire all forms of law enforcement and she hurts that her Super Hero's were hurt or killed. We have taught her to love all and treat all people and walks of life the same, and she doesn't understand why other's do not. I realize that I will only have to explain to her that she will receive mistreatment because she is a female, and never have to explain that it will be the color of her skin. But I'm with Jordan - why can't we love and respect all? Is it really that hard?
