Not surprised. Kansas has been trying to lure the Chiefs for years.

If you can, I would put like a loft area in place that is open to living space below. A two story room sounds nice and all but the extra living space is even nicer. When we were choosing our floor plan, there was an option for a two story great room instead of the loft. We went with the loft...

We're back from the funeral. He did ok. The church holds 950 and it was packed. We sat around friends and teachers, so I think that helped. I think ultmately, he'll be glad that he went to the funeral. If nothing else, it might start the healing process. As a parent, I wish he didn't have to go...

We talked to him last night and we all decided that going to the funeral would be the right thing. He's angry and at times we could tell he was close to tears. He kept saying he just wants things to go back to normal. My heart is breaking for him, no one should have to go through something like...

I got I3 broadband, currently paying $75 a month for 2g u/d

We know that he wasn't super close with her but we also know that she sat near him a lot last year, not so much this year and he did have a lot of small group instruction with her with the schools learning consultant both last year and this year. I think we're leaning towards having him go to...

He says he just doesn't want to go. I get it, he's avoiding it and if he can avoid it, then he doesn't have to talk about it or think about it.

He has stated multiple times that he doesn't want to go. We don't want to force him to go but at the same time we don't want him to be one of the only kids in the class that doesn't go. Eventually these kids will talk about it and we think he'll need that shared connection with the other kids...

Thanks. We all try to our best. I hate funerals too. Who doesn't? If he does go, this would be the first funeral he has ever attended. He's had great grand parents that passed within the last two years and we never took him to those funerals. Gave him the choice for his great grandfather that...

Yeah he does do a lot of avoidance, so we're pretty familiar with it. I think a lot of the boys in the class are the same way. From the other parents we talked too, their boys are acting pretty much the same way. My wife and I are debating making him go. Might be good for him to confront and...

We've reached out to several parents and everyone is still deciding, kind of like us.

My son made it through the 1st day yesterday. They had counselors there talk too. We had a snow day today. He keeps saying he's fine, him and the boys in the class are all ok. Said all the girls were crying The funeral is Friday and the school has cancelled classes that day. He says he doesn't...

I hear you I never want to experience something like this.

My kids seem ok but you never know. I'm betting Monday will be hard for my son with the empty desk in the room. The girl that passed was the oldest of 4 and I just can't imagine the grief they are all going through. I don't think I could bounce back from the death of child.

My son is 11 and in the 5th grade. We got a call earlier that a girl in his class was killed in a car accident yesterday. He goes to a private school, so only about 50 kids in the grade. My daughter in 2nd grade has a sibling in her grade. We told both of them and they reacted I think fairly...
