Mustangs

October 26th - We screened at Dan's alma mater, Downers Grove South. Despite having attended screenings there before, something got to me this time and made me teary. Maybe it was because there were 9 Carillon residents who joined me to save lives. We all dressed in blue.

I thought of all of the times I dropped Dan off at school before he had a car, yelling "I love you" to embarrass him. It didn't. He yelled it right back. I saw a girl who looked like Jaime Drendel. I was glad to let her know - thank you Facebook. It took me back to so long ago when life seemed so full of possibilities with the kids.

I was honored to screen AnneMarie, Barbara Erickson's granddaughter. She even recognized me. So sweet.
