Wednesday

 Well, Wednesday was a crushing day.  

I had thought that if Charlie Kirk would someday run for president, I was SO going to vote for him!  I loved listening to the campus conversations and knew that Robb would have loved them too.

It's been a bit of PTSD on this end.

Even though I knew that Rush Limbaugh was dying of cancer, his death, two days after Robb's, was still a compounded shock.   It was difficult enough losing Robb suddenly and then losing someone who reminded me so much of Robb and my dad in the same week. In my mind, it was as if the smartest and most common sense people in my life were gone.  Listening to Charlie was refreshing.

I stayed off FB the rest of Wednesday and part of Thursday. When I did venture back on, I was impressed by all the love but then dismayed by all the hatred.  So much evil in the world.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised.  Jesus said that we would be hated because of Him.  

I hope Robb meets up with Charlie in heaven, as there is no doubt they're both there.

My heart goes out to Charlie's widow.  I can't imagine the horror she went through, especially since she and her kids were there and the horror she continues to go through.

But I do know how she felt that first night when she turned off the lights and tried to get sleep.
