Every Friday, I wear red.
For many people, Red Friday is a simple gesture of support for our deployed military. For me, it is something much deeper. It is a reminder. A memory. A promise.
Years ago, my fiancé deployed to Iraq. He was part of the mission searching for SCUD missiles. Like so many brave men and women who answer the call of duty, he willingly put himself in harm’s way to protect others and serve his country.
He never came home the way we prayed he would.
Instead of running into my arms, he came home draped in the American flag, carried in a coffin.
That is why Red Friday hits a little differently for me.
Every Friday, I think about the dreams we never got to share, the life we never got to build, and the future that was taken from us far too soon. There will always be a place in my heart that belongs to him.
But while he did not return to his earthly home, I find comfort knowing he reached his eternal home. Heaven became his final destination, where pain, war, and sacrifice no longer exist.
Because of him, I understand the true meaning behind the words “Remember Everyone Deployed.” I know firsthand that every deployed service member is someone’s child, spouse, fiancé, parent, sibling, or best friend. Behind every uniform is a family waiting, hoping, praying, and counting the days until they come home.
So every Friday, I wear red not only for the deployed but also for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I wear red for the families carrying invisible wounds. I wear red for the empty chairs at dinner tables and the memories that never fade.
Most of all, I pray.
I pray daily for the safe return of every man and woman serving far from home. I pray that they return safely to the arms of those who love them. I pray that more families receive homecomings instead of heartbreak.
And until they all come home, I will continue to wear red.
For the deployed.
For the fallen.
For my fiancé.
For every hero who answered the call.
Until they all come home.
Good Friday mornin’, y’all! 🌅

Here we have two elderly women getting into a physical fight at a Serangoon coffee shop . One is in a motorized chair the other has a walking cane . One of them wound up in the hospital with minor injuries..
I’m trying really hard not to laugh at the ridiculousness of this but I just can’t help it. 😂
Tell me, I’m not the only one ?
More of this please❤️
✝️Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been baptized three years after suffering cardiac arrest during an NFL game.
✝️Reflecting on the difficult season that led to this moment, Hamlin said:
“I didn’t have the season I wanted. I had the season I needed. I slowed myself down. I got right with God.”
✝️The baptism marked a public declaration of his faith and a powerful new chapter following years of recovery, setbacks, and reflection.
✝️Many Christians are celebrating the moment as a testimony of God’s mercy, restoration, and second chances.
This big rig pontoon boat would make me consider buying another boat.
I hope it has the truck horn installed. 💯
Looks like Peterbilt built a boat. 😆
How cool is that rig?
I registered as a republican today! 🥰
My first political post on my X page 😊
Here is my Facebook post I shared shortly after Charlie’s death:
Long post, but here goes.
This post has been laid on my heart because of recent events. I haven’t talked about politics on here ever, but now I feel too much not to speak up.
For years I have watched some of my facebook friends post truly hate filled posts, regarding conservatives. I said nothing because we all have a right to our beliefs and opinions. I said nothing because I knew I would lose some of my friends from this and I was scared. But after the vile assassination of someone I followed and agreed with many of his ideas, I can’t be silent anymore. I know I will lose some of you as friends, and that’s okay, better to surround yourself with understanding and loving people than people who may hate me for my political views.
For most of my adult life I voted democrat. Up until 2019, I was a strong democrat supporter. I don’t watch news, but saw clips of Biden in which I knew he was not there mentally. I in good conscience could not vote for a man that was not capable of serving. That was the first year I voted for a republican president. Over the next 4 years I watched the country that I grew up in totally upended. Wide open borders, men in women’s sports, pronouns, transgender children, and a failing economy are what pushed me to vote straight republican in 2024. The first time in my entire life. I based my vote on the future of our country for not only me but my children. I did my research and found out the lies that I’d been told about Trump were spins and propaganda. I won’t go into too much detail but know almost everything you see on msm are spun lies to persuade you to hate him and his party. What I found was the opposite of what I heard on the news.
Fast forward to after the inauguration where I was a victim of the very party I use to be a part of all for owning a Tesla. I received a hate note on my car, a vile text doxxing my address from an unknown number, and met a woman in my town who was beat up by a madman because she was in a Tesla. Because of that I was terrified to drive around town for weeks, I learned to shoot a gun for the first time in my life, and carried a gun with me for months. I have been called a fascist, Nazi, magat, and a slew of other derogatory comments on other platforms for being a MAGA supporter. I don’t say this for you to feel sorry for me, I say this because this to me is what the Democratic Party has become. I don’t recognize this party anymore, and I denounce I was ever apart of such evil. I know all democrats are not like this, my family is mostly democrats, but I cannot ever again be a part of a party that does this kind of stuff to other people.
In closing may I suggest you do your own independent research, find the whole truth, not bits and pieces of it from the news. It was truly eye opening and enlightening to find it. For those Facebook friends, unfriending me because I’m a MAGA supporter I wish you all the best in life 🥰
