Dr. Wes here again everyone, it hurts to have to make back-to-back IG posts on national tragedies but our country and especially its kids have had a horrible past couple weeks, and the shooting in Texas a few days ago was a special sort of anguish. @iambeckyg posted up this collage of the children who lost their lives in the deadly onslaught at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, and seeing each of those faces is like a new gut punch every time. Especially for a parent or anyone planning on starting a family soon but also for America in general, as we mourn yet another horrific tragedy in our schools. Like Sandy Hook all over again, but in some ways even more tragic with the news that law enforcement waited over an hour (78 minutes) to move in and take out the shooter (and even then it was an off-duty Border Patrol agent). Que descansen en paz, niños inocentes, y que Dios esté con Ustedes y sus familias. I could finish this with a note of cynicism and resignation about anything being done to prevent this in the future, and the truth it's probably justified, but the US is already rife with such corrosive sentiment. Right now, there's still a need for blood donations for all those still recovering from their injuries at that nightmarish scene. If you're anywhere nearby, please consider giving blood; we need all types and as much as we can store up. #uvalde #uvaldeshooting #nationaltragedy #schoolshooting #massshooting #texasshooting #shootingintexas #robbelementary #deathofachild #lossofachild #lostinnocence #perdidadelainocencia #masacredelosinocentes #tiroteo #tiroteoenuvalde #tiroteoentexas #tiroteoentejas #tragedianacional  #salvadorramos #elementaryschool #schoolmassacre #sandyhook #78minutes #niñosinocentes #iambeckyg #beckyg #blooddonations #giveblood #donateblood (at Uvalde, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeKrpbRMe6i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
