Day 1648 without my daughter. I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I keep wondering why I am not dreaming of her. I find myself afraid that I am losing images of her. My house is filled with silence, her morning singing no longer echoing into my room. My heart hurts.
2) I get messages calling me a racist, an opportunist. I know this isn't true. Why would anyone say those things to me? I don't understand it, all I know is that if we had properly secured the border that the drugs that took my baby from this world would never have been here.
3) I pray every day for the strength to get through the day and miraculously God answers my prayers and I go on, but it feels wrong to go on without her. How can anyone take the main purpose of someone's life away from them and expect them to go on as if nothing happened?
4) I see the news media calling me a racist, a bigot, a hater because I want to prevent this from happening to another family. My heart hurts even more. When did our country start hating so much that they would turn a blind eye to the suffering and loss of Angel families?
5) I remember a time when we rallied around those who suffered and lost loved ones. Have we "progressed" so far that our own people's lives don't matter anymore? Have we become so callous that we just don't care about the collateral damage and lost lives from poor gov't policy?
6) It feels like we have moved away from love and towards something dark and empty, filled with hate and anger. When gov't policy can reach into our homes and destroy our families it's time to fix the gov't., I will continue to fight to do that because Tiffany would want me to.
7) Every single day I am tempted to let the anger inside me take over and burn the world down for taking her from me. But I don't let that happen. I remind myself that God has a greater purpose for me, my anger cannot fix this. So I reach out in love and tell her story instead.
8) This is not about hating anyone, it's not about politics, it's about how much we value our families and children. If we no longer value those two things, then we are truly lost as a nation and as human beings. Pray for love, healing, truth, security and justice we need them.
I made this video for Tiffany. Tiffany if you can hear me in the universe not a second goes by that I am not thinking of you and missing you desperately. Loving you always and ever, Mom.

1) To those who accused me of "enriching myself" at my daughter's expense. I took out a funeral loan to cover the funeral expenses til the insurance paid. I've been struggling to pay it while fighting for the claim to be paid. It has been denied & I can't afford the payments.
2) If I had the choice I would NOT have chosen for my child to die, nor struggle financially to pay her funeral loan, while helping to raise my two motherless grandchildren. So before you accuse ANYONE of something so reprehensible I suggest you READ first.
3) $9,000 isn't enriching me whatsoever but it will free up my $1300 monthly disability checks of the $438.00 loan payment to take care of my grandchildren as I help to raise a second family and shame on you for suggesting it is anything else! gofundme.com/manage/tiffany…

@johnlegend I have stopped following you because you are also inspiring killers with your anti-Trump anti-conservative rhetoric. The Dayton shooter used words of Elizabeth Warren to justify his actions and the constant hate spread by the left has reached legendary status.
@johnlegend 2) By your continued lumping together of legal immigrants & asylum seekers with the actual criminals that the POTUS is addressing you are creating, fostering and promoting a false message of racism and hate. Meanwhile, we are losing 47,000 American's a year due to these criminals
@johnlegend 3) I buried my only daughter in 2015 due to the drugs being smuggled over that border by the drug cartels who also terrorize and victimize the immigrants. Your continued actions not only incite violence but you are enabling and protecting my child's killers. It's painful to watch

A great way to teach your children about socialism. Have your child do a job with the promise of paying them $5.00 while the other child or you sit by and do nothing. When they finish and come to be paid give them $2.50 and hand the other $2.50 to the other child or yourself.
2) Who did nothing. When they protest you can explain to them that this is what socialism does. I guarantee you will raise a capitalist from that day forward.
3) For college age children who support socialism, only give them half of their tuition money at the beginning of the semester. Then explain that the other half is going to the neighbor for their college to promote socialism. They will learn quickly trust me.

This week is going to be a hard one. It is every.single.year.

This post triggered all those memories & feelings, so I want to share why I’m an organ donor

My dad died unexpectedly on Father’s day at the age of 46.
/1
2 nights earlier he had been visiting clients in Minnesota & collapsed.

I was working night shift at a hospital in Indiana when my unit secretary ran to find me.

“Your dad collapsed & is being flown from MN to the closest level 1 trauma center in Sioux Falls, SD.”
/2
“Don’t worry about your patients, we’ve got them -GO NOW!”

I was on the next flight from IN to SD.

Heart attack
Dad was on life support

The ICU staff were suddenly on the other side of an equation I’d been on countless times.

They delicately walked the line between brutal

Guess WHAT, they’re going on a DATE.
“Great, let me just grab my coat.”

Connor flashed him a smile before he headed to the back of the salon, leaving Hank to wonder how he kept tripping and falling into this guy’s good graces. People fell asleep or cried at his work, too, but he’d never asked any of /them/ out.
...Well, but he wasn’t here for carjacking, either.

Connor returned with one arm in his coat and the other one getting there, a package clutched in his hand. A little white paper sack, top folded down in a neat, even line. “Here, I threw these together for you, too.”

Thread on the Electoral College Part 4:

Below you will find links to the 3 previous tweet threads in this series on the Electoral College. I appreciate everyone’s interest in this as coincidentally there is a lot of press coverage on this topic lately.
What I want to do is close the loop on this series and just how serious this topic really is. Hopefully this helps shine a light on the issue and spark a larger conversation on civics.
Going back to our scene:

That heavy air doesn’t dissipate as you ponder what you just read. Your child can see you’re thinking and they are looking at you intently as you digest what you just read. Finally you look up at them and say, “what I am reading is

Patriarchy and the way men I come into contact with enforce its impact on my life made me so sad over the last 24 hours that I voluntarily shoveled several feet of snow today. Which is funny but: men, you are patriarchy carriers and you should be aware of that, constantly.
Men: patriarchy is with you in every conversation and it is up to you to filter it out.

And yes it is your responsibility to clean up patriarchal messes.
I really didn’t want to get out of bed this morning because I felt so sad about how men are acting

Soonyoung shattered.

"Jihoonie!" Soonyoung sobbed hard, wrapping his arms around Jihoon and pulling him close in a blink of an eye. He buried his face into Jihoon's neck as his whole body shook violently, sobs completely wrecking him. "J-Jihoonie, Ji— Jihoon! Jihoonie, J-Ji—"
Soonyoung was sobbing uncontrollably; he kept coughing in between in his sobs, having a hard time breathing as he held onto Jihoon tighter.

"J-Ji— Jihoon," Soonyoung choked out, voice sounding painfully raw and strained but still, he kept calling one name over and over again.
Jihoon held back his own sobs and wrapped his arms tighter around the other, wishing that his hug could mend the broken pieces together and prevent Soonyoung from shattering even more.

"J-Jihoo— hoonie," Soonyoung brokenly cried, pressing his face further onto the other's neck.

Damon gets the sudden urge to check to phone and demands Katherine give it back to him. YESSS READ YOUR DAMN MESSAGES. Its like he got this feeling something wasn't right
"You are going to get yourself killed. The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid."
"I wouldn't have done it for you."
AAGSHD he will risk to life for Elena. We all been knew. But truthfully, he would have for Kat too. He did and he died in 1864.
He wouldn't do it for Katherine NOW, obviously.
