8. Thank you. I'm so glad he didn't live to see this.

My son was his world. My father suffered for so long, I'm glad he didn't live to see this sad reminder of the world his grandson will grow up in.

But I'm so, so sorry for all of our children. They deserve better than this.

Over my dead body will my son attend a day care or school that allows concealed weapons.
