It's Official...I'm Running for Crowley ISD

Well, it's official! Yesterday, I filed as a candidate for Crowley ISD's school board. I am a first-time candidate and having my children accompany me made this moment much more special. Although my daughter was slightly disappointed that we didn't "run" anywhere after I told my kids that I was going to run for school board.

Who Will Cry

Who will cry for the little boy, lost and all alone?

Who will cry for the little boy, abandoned without his own?

Who will cry for the little boy? He cried himself to sleep.

Who will cry for the little boy? He never had for keeps.

Who will cry for the little boy? He walked the burning sand

Who will cry for the little boy? The boy inside the man.

Who will cry for the little boy? Who knows well hurt and pain

Who will cry for the little boy? He died again and again.

Who will cry for the little boy? A good boy he tried to be

Who will cry for the little boy? Who cries inside of me

--Antwone Fisher from Who Will Cry for the Little Boy?

On Wednesday, December 21, 2016, a seven-year-old boy lost part of his innocence forever. Forever changed by a neighbor choking him. Forever changed by a police officer’s excessive force against his family. Forever changed by his mother and siblings being arrested and jailed.
