Dear Cason,

A tragedy happened yesterday in Oklahoma. A tornado ripped through a town, flattening an elementary school. There were 51 lives lost, 20 of them were children. I, like everyone else am horrified and saddened by this news, as well with any other tragedies, especially those involving children. But now that I am your mother the emotions that I feel are intensified, I can now put myself in those other mothers' shoes, I have the same thing that they have, a precious child that could be taken away way too soon. I can't imagine what those parents are going through, nor do I ever wish to experience something so horrific. Just know, sweet Cason, I will do everything in my power to protect you and the rest will be up to God, for He knows the plan he has for you.

Love you to the moon and back,
Mama
