Jack, You are my best friend.

We had fun together.

I will miss you.

I will talk to you in my prayers.

I love you Jack.

2. Devastating.

They shouldn't have to face this kind of thing at such a tender age.

6. Or at all...

nobody should ever have to face this.... sometimes with the kids tough, I think they understand things in an unfiltered way and they get to the point of what things really mean to them much faster tan older folks...

He was his friend, he will miss him and he will pray for him.... any adult couldn't have said it any better in a thousand words...

Kids are amazing

3. I'm just sad this 6 year old wasn't armed with 9mm

So he could save his friend from the killer.

The root cause here is gun free zones.

America demands compulsory target practice after milk and cookies and before nap time.

7. Might want to use the sarcasm tag...

Some people have actually been saying that and meaning it. It's bizarre

4. I'm glad you posted it again. I had missed it.

It is beautiful, but painful at the same time. It's going to be one of those bittersweet memories that will stick with me for the rest of my life.
