Crazy... day.

Crazy... day... on so many levels.

Such a heavy heart... for Madison.

I don't usually write about these horrific events, and... I'm not going to say much, except...

how incredibly heartbroken I am, for the Families who are dealing with,

 in my mind...  the unimaginable.

The Loss of a Child, in my opinion, Is The Greatest Loss, of All.

No Matter, what age the Child... may be.

{Remember breaking the news, to Mom... about Sister, Chery's death.

Having to tell our Mom, she'd... lost her oldest Child, was beyond heartbreaking.}

Watching a man shoot, another man... in his back, because of the 'Job'... he held, oh my.

The Man who was Murdered, was someone's

 Son.

A Loving

Husband, and...

Father.

We...as a 'People', must... figure this out.

I've never believed 'this'... is about guns.

When I attended Highschool...

{ just, yesterday...}

; )

went to Prairie, which was, at that time, pretty much a Rural School. 

{Cedar Rapids School Kids... called Prairie, 

"Cow Pie High".

; )

bless their hearts}

Most of the Prairie students were Farm Kids, or, Small Town... Kids.

I remember seeing Pickups, in the student parking lot...

with gun racks in their back windows, with guns... resting in them.

Hunting Rifles.

Nobody... messed with anyone's guns, or trucks... at Prairie.

Wouldn't have crossed any of our minds.

{There was also a smoking area, for students, and... teachers... out back. ; ) }

Much... has changed, since 'yesterday'.

I have a theory... as, I'm guessing, most do, about the 'Why'.

Sadly... with my theory, don't know how to turn things around, or...

put 'The Genie'... back, in the bottle.

Turning this 'Ship'... around, in my opinion...

It's Gonna Take a Village, and some personal sacrifice.

We'll see, where 'The Journey' takes us.

Grateful...

for Much, and Many.

Spied the tiny... little old, 1890's, or so...

 'Fairy' clock, in The Witwer Cupboard, while passin' by, this evening.

: )

Decided to pull him out, give 'im a wind... and, see if there was any Life... left in him.

<3

There Was.

<3

He's Happily Tickin' Away.

: )

Grateful... for My Pal.

<3

Miss. Peanut.

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

{Fairfax's Mayor, got back to me... today, concerning the Camera, 'malfunctioning'... Yet, again, at The December... Fairfax, Iowa, City Council Meeting. 

Haven't responded to her. 

Still... Chewin', on All of the...

; )

well,

Still...

Chewin'.}
