Last night was about the students. I'm glad I went and even more-so by us meeting there as a family to sit with all the other families and students. It took all three of our vehicles to converge, but no worries. All well worth it.
Aidan had long been reporting that he loves his bus driver. Last night, after the vigil's end, we got to meet her and her husband. She is exactly as Aidan described and now I love her, too. What a woman!
Media was there. Here is The Intelligencer's coverage...

Today is the eve of Christmas Eve if that is an appropriate designation. Wendy often has a vacuum in her hand recently and helped vacuum my room; I've been that laid up with the nasty cold/cough going around, and through the family. They are all finished with theirs, I think. Knock on wood, the coughing has slowed this morning.
Wendy is taking care of the animals, doing last-minute prep, and readying her plans to go to the airport to pick up the boys' cousin Iliana this afternoon for her week of Christmas with us.
It is quiet this morning--light rain, grey everywhere with the fall browns and yellows soaking on the ground. The bright colors of Christmas poinsettias sit in the windowsills where Wendy set them. From my dining room seat school buses rush by on Ridge Road with Aidan's having been one of the earliest, 6:39 a.m., followed a few minutes later at 6:51 by Keoni's. Toby was ready on the porch when I went out to give him his dry food scoop. He minds the rain.
My coffee is finished. Time to move into the day.
