There is a terrible cost when unvetted illegals pour into a country. Obama left office with 8000 serious crimes a yr by illegals. Trump got that down to 2800 a yr. Biden climbed over 15,000 per yr! This father would not mourn his daughter if democrats were not so treasonous.
Every day I sit in Katie's room.
An orbit light has never gone out because Katie will always be the light of our home.
These are my reflections on grief, faith, and the hope that sustains us until we meet again.

As I sit in Katie's room; the room that never should have existed, the room we were forced to create after reckless public policies ignored the tradeoffs and forever changed our lives. I come here because it's the closest I can feel to her.
I sit quietly and try to imagine we're together again, talking the way we used to before she was killed. For a moment, I can almost convince myself she's still here.
There is an orbit light that shines over Katie's room every hour of every day. I never turn it off. Some people might wonder why. Katie will always be the light of our home. It feels wrong for the room that holds her memory to ever be dark.
I don't ever want to sit with her in darkness because she has always been my bright light. Perhaps that's why I find such comfort in Christ's promise: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John 1:5). The darkness of grief is real, but it will never overcome the light Katie brought into our lives, or the hope we have in Him.
People often ask if I'm afraid to speak out. The truth is, these days I don't fear much of anything. When you've already lived through your greatest nightmare, the things that once seemed intimidating lose their power.
But there is one fear that remains.
I fear the fading memories.
I fear the day her voice isn't as clear in my mind. I fear struggling to remember the sound of her laughter, the little expressions that made her uniquely Katie. I'd give every tomorrow I have for just one more moment to hear her voice today. Especially at night, when the house becomes so quiet that the silence itself feels deafening.
Until the Lord calls me home, memory is all I have. But my hope isn't in memory alone, it's in God's promise. As the Apostle Paul wrote, "For now we see through a glass, darkly... but then face to face" (1 Corinthians 13:12). Because of Christ, I know memory is not the end of our story. One day faith will become sight, and I won't have to imagine Katie's voice anymore, I will hear it again.
Sometimes I'm almost afraid to go to sleep. I'm so weary, yet every passing day feels like another day farther away from her. Time, which everyone says is supposed to heal, sometimes feels like it's quietly carrying pieces of her voice farther from my reach.
So I fight to hold onto every memory I have. And even if time softens those memories, God's promise never will. The day is coming when I will no longer have to search my heart for the sound of Katie's voice. I will hear it again, not as a fading memory, but face to face.
And what makes this burden even harder to carry is knowing it did not have to happen. Those entrusted with leadership made reckless choices while dismissing the costs. They ignored the tradeoffs. Families like mine are left to build rooms for their daughters instead of watching them build lives of their own.
Those responsible move on to their next speech, their next campaign, their next press conference. They return to their lives while ours remains forever divided into before and after. We remain here, trying to preserve every memory, every laugh, every word, trusting that while this world took Katie from our sight, it cannot take her from God's hands. And because of that promise, I know the last time I heard her voice will not be the last time I hear it.
@angeldadjoe So touching, lovely, dedicated. You are not one day further each day, our time here feels long but it is short compared to eternity. You are one day closer each day, where you will see her & have all the time in the world then. Go to her media, ask friends to post pics & videos
@AndrewKolvet@RealCandaceO Candace only makes herself seem shallow and jealous. She literally is obssessed with Charlie. I have to wonder how her husband feels with her endless obsessing over another man. Candace obviously cannot deal with how he loved Erika, his devotion is in his videos.
@laralogan He sleeps with virgins because those are the ones naive enough to think he is charming. He is a pig, definitely needs to find God. He says he is Christian but he is not.
Black Americans beware. Basically, this means democrats in Oregon think blacks are stupid, and want them to stay that way so they can control them as pawns on the democrat plantation.

FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING
Our hearts go out to this brave soldier and her family.
SGT Rampersad dedicated her life to serving our country and her heroism and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
May God watch over her loved ones during this difficult time.
@politicalawake WOW that is deeply disturbing and wrong. They should sue. This is very critically wrong because islam is the cult of Satan. They now need to cleanse their spirits by reaffirming Jesus and God, then rebuke Satan, and disavow him and his demons.
@iAnonPatriot She is pathetic. I am positive she never actually researched any of his actions and how he is helping America. If she did she would learn he is doing the best job of any president. Actually helping in the way that a President should. It is losers like her that drag America.
@amuse Lack of parenting. The gal in white was attacked and held her own but then it became 5 against 1. That is a difference with black kids, they will pile up on one person with no sense of fair fights. No signs of avoiding them, they all just want to show off. Sad.
@realBrandonGill Good job in pressing for a response. She was desperate not to. I wish you had also asked her when will she sell white girl power. Where is the balance? She is racist.
I wish we could save her but Iran has already executed multiple young and talented TEENS. IRGC are so evil. Just imagine, executions only for the crime of protesting, wanting freedom. I pray they are released.
I need everyone to share this, please. This is Diana. She is only 16, and the Islamic regime of Iran wants to execute her for protesting for freedom. Be her voice. Help make this go viral. She deserves to live.
