Elizabeth FOSS Wrote on her Facebook timeline
There have been so many things I’ve written inside my head today. So many questions. So many hard answers. When my kids were all little, I asked the hard questions out loud on paper and online. I waxed philosophical. I was open and honest and vulnerable and grateful for community. The questions are harder these days. The stories are not only mine. There are memories I want to share. Playground conversations while her little girls and mine mastered the monkey bars. A grief I’ve been anticipating. And then another grief. Other homeschool mom chats in a bright kitchen at the counter across from a chalkboard filled with vocabulary words. We discussed the merits of raw milk and wondered how to give our collective crew the very best chance at everything good. We taught them at home and we taught them together. We all tried so hard. Could we craft childhood and keep them happy and safe and whole—shield them from heartache forever and ever amen? We could not. We could not keep them safe. We could not even guarantee we’d still be here for them when things became unbearably hard. We look around, a bit dazed at the intensity of it all tonight. We are moms who were all in to provide the very best education as we understood it. We’re still all in. But now we know that the real lessons learned all along were the ones teaching us to surrender. I’m missing the moms I grew up with today. Grief upon grief. And grief still unspoken. An incoherent post because I cannot make sense of it all. Please pray for the repose of the souls of Irene Starrs and Courtney Kampa. And please, please pray for the consolation of the people who love them.
