At first we had to focus on our children who were suddenly and pretty much immediately ripped from school, friends and life as they had always known it. ⁣
⁣
Much of our family is in Spain so we then grew increasingly aware and terrified of the tremendous loss of life, not only there but all throughout Europe and then little by little here in the States. ⁣
