'We lost our daughter, we lost ourselves and we're just trying to pick up the pieces and do what we can with it.'
Each morning, Felix Rubio helps his wife Kim get their younger kids ready for school. Clothes, breakfast, check on the dog. Normal family life. Then, every day, he visits the child he can’t help anymore – the daughter slaughtered by a gunman at her elementary school as she and her friends watched a movie after their end-of-year awards ceremony. “Every day I go to the cemetery, and I go out there and talk to Lexi,” Rubio told CNN. “People say she’s with us spiritually and I get it.
It’s just been longer since we’ve seen her,” she said of her daughter, a sporty and studious girl with a wide smile who wanted to become a lawyer. “I don’t think we want to move forward. I think when people ask me about that, you’re asking me to move further from my last memory with her. That’s uncomfortable and I don’t want to do that,” Kim said.
