Empty spaces, broken hearts in a Texas town gutted by loss

Crosses and balloons are seen reflected in a water fountain at the town square on Thursday, May 26, 2022, in Uvalde, Texas. In a town as small as Uvalde, even those who didn't lose their own child lost someone. Some say now that closeness is both their blessing and their curse: they can lean on each other to grieve. But every single one of them is grieving. (AP Photo/Wong Maye-E)
