I want to thank
@EversourceCT
- who today surprised me with 4 tickets to Hamilton in Hartford- one for each member of our family to donate to three NBHS students and one chaperone. Then someone donated transportation. And another person dinner.

We did a thing a few days ago and we got to take this picture and the woman in the center said, “Ana Grace, Ana Grace, Ana Grace. I hear that name a lot in my office!” And we were just so thrilled. It’s Wednesday. How will you fill your heart?

“Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind. All we are is dust in the wind.”
Left with nothing but ashes, I will still love you for eternity.

It’s a beautiful thing and here they are at The CREC Ana Grace Academy. Be sure to follow them both if you have FB.

“Competence, confidence, control, connection, contribution, character and coping.” ALL helpful tools in buffering trauma. Our schools, our communities, everyone should be working on providing this for kids.

Children are naturally curious and there is nothing wrong with that. Yesterday:
Child: “Do you have a daughter?”
Me: “yes”
Child: “what happened to her?”
Me: “she’s not here. But you are here and I am so thankful for that.”
Child: “but.. she passed away. What happened?”

Me. Super calm. Kneel down. Smile big.
“She did pass away. Thank you for being so kind to think of her. Let’s listen to your teacher now.”
I can honor children’s natural curiosity with the delicate handling of this conversation with a 5 year old.
These babies deserve that.
Thank you for my beautiful hat, Ana Grace Academy!
@BDPerry
- you should know every educator and staff at the school will be reading “What Happened to You”.
