I generally shelter M from these stories (he's only 6), but there have been so many lately! Just breathtaking in their swiftness and finality. My heartaches for these families and the senselessness of their losses. I felt compelled to share the basics of this story, in an age appropriate way, with M. I was honest with him when he asked what ended up happening to Tanner. It rattled him. I saw that it did. I hope I did the right thing, but it terrifies me that he will become lax.
