'Us parents should be at home grieving to the fullest, yet we are having to fight every entity imaginable,' Uziyah's father said.
The father of Uziyah Garcia, Brett Cross, spoke out on Twitter Saturday morning, detailing how that day unfolded for his family.“This time four months ago, it was a normal day. I was at my office getting a booklet made for each of my coworkers that would show their growth in their skills to help get them raises,” Cross said onCross said his wife called him in a panic, screaming that there was a shooter at Uziyah’s school.
“I headed there, not knowing it would be eight hours of sitting and hoping,” he said. “As busloads of children got off, Uzi’s class never made it.” “I knew then that my little boy wasn’t coming home. I knew that I was going to receive the news I had always dreaded,” Cross said. “I knew. At 7:30 to 8, we got called back to another room. I knew. To hear the words ‘I’m sorry but Uziyah didn’t make it,’ is the moment my world crumbled,” Cross said.
The days that followed were a blur for Cross as he and his family processed the unthinkable with the loss of Uziyah. Cross joins the other families of the Robb Elementary victims in their calls for change, action and accountability.
