I don't always write about death. I always do write about life 🫂🦋💙

Antifa

I remember an occasion a few months before my son died, he told me that he was visiting a friend soon to go beat some antifa, show them what's what.

I've heard it said, becoming
a mother means half of your
heart is outside of your body.
The problem with that is when
the child dies, part of your
heart dies with them

It's never easy, but it is less hard
🫂💙🦋

#grief #mourning #griefcoach #deathcoach

When asked,
I always say I have
two children, one each
side of heaven.
Then they apologize; it's okay.
I just could never say
I have just one

I wanted to know why no one stopped this. I was also surprised that anyone was willing to take any amount of money to do this to our WH. Very sad.

How far are Rs going to let Tramp go before they consider he's gone too far?

He had no right to do this!

Ballroom - $250M
Tramp suing for $250M 🤔

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

#FoodBankChallenge

Can we get to $5000 to start? With SNAP running out in Nov if the shutdown continues, more folks will be turning to food banks - which are already struggling since the administration cut $500 MILLION in deliveries back in the spring.

Q: We've heard things like Dems want money for civic engagement in Zimbabwe, millions for LGBTQ grants in Balkans. You say this is about healthcare but how do these pet projects fit in?

JEFFRIES: We have no idea what you're talking about or what Republican extremist fed you those talking points

And food. Taking groceries off the tables of fatherless children and the elderly, right in time for Thanksgiving. It's disgusting and cruel.
I say fatherless because of my own grandchildren, who were 8, 6, 3, and 6 months when my son died in 2020, I know there's all kinds in need

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

For the people that voted for trump that say the regime doesn’t hate gay, black, brown or Jewish people and I know some personally. This is the Republican ideology. The Young Republicans want to bring back the gas chambers for all these groups.

created a whole new me,
