A year later, one Uvalde family remembers their son through the mementos he left behind
Rojélio Torres collected Pokémon cards, played football with his siblings and cousins and loved climbing trees. The 10-year-old joined his school's robotics club because his brother liked it. When he grew up, his dream was to join the Navy. He also wanted to become a carpenter to help his mother, Evadulia Orta, who had built the house her family currently lives in.
Now, Orta keeps a folder filled with Pokémon cards in her bedroom. No one else can touch it. That folder is the same one Rojélio carried in his backpack on May 24, 2022, the day he died in the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde.
These memories and mementos are what Orta and her family have left of Rojélio one year later.
His siblings and cousins play with the football they and Rojélio always played with. His siblings continue to collect Pokémon cards, leaving them on a table in Rojélio's room, so he can continue expanding his collection. And on the days they miss him most, Orta takes everyone to the Hillcrest Memorial Cemetery so they can each have a chance to talk to him, one by one.

How Houstonians can voice concerns to CenterPoint for ‘chaos and frustration’ during Hurricane Beryl
SUMMARY: A fire at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church in southern Dallas County heavily damaged the church offices, though the sanctuary was mostly spared. The fire, which started around 12:30 PM, saw 50 firefighters at the scene, one of whom was injured and transported to the hospital in stable condition. The church's 85-year-old pastor, who has been there for 48 years, safely escaped. The fire's cause remains under investigation. Despite the office damage, 75% of the pastor's books were salvaged, and he remains in good spirits, emphasizing faith and community support during this recovery period.
Several firefighters battled a blaze at the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church in far southeast Dallas on Friday.
