One of the sadder moments in life was showing up at our elementary school Harvest Festival (why can't we just call it Halloween) and seeing the cops on the security detail, including my babysitter's dad, wearing body armor. Has the world come to that. Cops have to worry about getting shot during a grammar school holiday party?
I don't want to pry, but I'd love to know how grace touched this man, my babysitter's dad. He's white. His wife is white. He has four children. His oldest daughter is black, our babysitter.
