HARTFORD, Conn. — Mark Barden said that all week he’s been keeping track of the timeline the families in Uvalde, Texas, are on.
“My wife Jackie and I have been kind of tracking along, moment to moment, what these families have been going through,” he said.
On Tuesday night, the couple went for a drive to clear their heads. They wound their way out of their neighborhood in Sandy Hook to distance themselves from the pain, from the memories that were pushing even closer to the surface than they have been every day for 9 1/2 years.
