My heart is heavy today. The hearts of the western world are heavy today. When someone walks into a space primarily filled with children, with an improvised explosive device and sets it off, that is not an act of war, it is a statement. It forces us to examine how we allow our children to…

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Six years before Gillian Flynn set the world on fire with Amy and Nick Dunne in Gone Girl, she created a dark and twisted family drama surrounding Camille Preaker, her mother and her sisters.

I am lying on my son’s bed, waiting for his breathing to become regular and his ever longer body to relax back to sleep. He is seven and only in sleep do his features smoothen and soften enough for me to find the baby he was not more than two days ago. Right now his…
