I'm tired of being heartsick and angry and frightened all at the same time. My son's years from around 2015 were spent with that thought in the back of my mind… Is this the day he doesn't come home?

Now, he's a county EMT and I wonder if this will be the day he responds to someone in need and is met with an assault rifle.

I hope you'll read my piece on this same topic, "Burdened Blessings." It's not my usual fare – but, I'm certain you won't mind the caustic skreed.
