Ah David. Good to see the little guy

Would I really travel for 12 hours just to see him for 2 hours?  Yes I would.  Whenever the opportunity arises, you will find me on the road to see David. Had a really good visit.  He was overly concerned about death though.  Wanted to know what would happen to him if his mom and I died. We got through it and still had a really good conversation.  He showed me his desk in the classroom, his bedroom, and the game room where we visited.  He sat still for the whole visit.  I was impressed, as I know how hard it is for him to do that.

gun violence – a potential.

With that kind of title, you are thinking that something is going on with David.  Not this time.  I have been working on a story.  A hypothetical if you wish.  I would like your opinion. Imagine if you will a young adult, who gets upset with a boy or girlfriend over a break up.  Now imagine that this upset individual steals the something from their ex, takes it out into a field in the middle of the pre-dawn hours and shoots it full of holes. Should I as a parent be concerned about having this person in school with my children?  They have already shown themselves to be prone to violent irrational behavior. What do you think?
