After the horrible events in Uvalde, Texas Tuesday, the world has been mourning the senseless loss of life. 19 children and two teachers were killed by a gunman at Robb Elementary School.
Among those killed, teacher Eva Mireles, 44, was identified by her family.
Her daughter Adalynn posted a tribute to her mother on social media.
\u201cMy sweet mommy , I will miss you forever. \ud83e\udd0d\ud83d\udd4a\u201d— Adalynn \u271e\ud83d\udc9b (@Adalynn \u271e\ud83d\udc9b) 1653485905

She wrote:
“I never thought I would be here writing this type of post for you.”
“Mom, you are a hero. I keep telling myself that this isn’t real.”
The tribute continued with everything Adalynn misses about her mother. The post is a remembrance of everything a daughter could have wanted in a mother.
Her mom would call her everyday after work, and they’d share Tiktoks while annoying Adalynn’s father.
And in the end, Adalynn is a girl who just wants her mother back.

\u201cNo child should ever have to be in a position to write these words. My heart breaks. We must pursue real change now. #Uvalde #GunControlNow\u201d— Ruth Gao (@Ruth Gao) 1653514349
The heroic sacrifice was confirmed by Eva’s aunt, Lydia Delgado.
She posted on Facebook:
“One thing that's certain is that my beautiful niece did not survive this coward's actions.”
“I'm furious that these shootings continue. These children are innocent.”
The shooting in Uvalde came hot on the heels of another mass shooting in Buffalo, New York just weeks earlier. 10 people were killed in that White nationalism motivated act of domestic terrorism.
\u201cParents losing children and young people losing their mom. It should have been a normal Tuesday for them. And now their world is forever broken. Sending so much love to Adalynn. This isn't fair.\u201d— Michelle (@Michelle) 1653494409
