Dave and I were in Collierville, Tenn., to visit our son Troy, his wife Mary Beth and our five grandchildren. Because of the attack we were able to take care of our 9-month-old granddaughter Annalise and our 4-year-old grandson Phillip while Troy and Mary Beth, Will – 11, Thomas – 9 and John – 7 went to Mass to pray for our country and its citizens.
It was a tragic event but I remember it for the wonderful opportunity to care for our grandchildren.
That opportunity never arose again.
