Fred Guttenberg remembers Jaime, continues to fight on the 2nd anniversary of the Parkland Massacre
Fred Guttenberg ✔@fred_guttenberg
(1,5) Two years ago at approximately 7am, I sent my two children to school. I was so busy rushing them out the door so that they would not be late that my final words were not "I love you." Jesse came home that day. Jaime did not.
(2,5) I sent my children to school where they were supposed to be safe. They were not. Jaime became a victim of gun violence. Two years ago. Hard to believe. Every day is a new journey where I try to learn how to move forward and not move on. That is my reality.
(3,5) People always ask me, what can they do. I will answer. I need everyone who reads this to promise to PLEASE VOTE! By this I mean EVERY election possible.
VOTE FOR JAIME GUTTENBERG! Vote for your own safety from gun violence. If you are not registered to vote, do it now.
(4,5) Half of the US doesn’t vote in the general election, and then everyone complains. That is not an option in this election. Vote for candidates who are decent, civil, and want to do more about gun violence. PROMISE TO VOTE FOR JAIME!!!
(5,5) On this Valentines day, I want everyone to look those they love in the eye and tell them that you love them. Hug them and hold them tight as if it is the last time you will ever get that chance as it truly could be the last time that you will ever get that chance.
