@Rachlord I understand your pain. 18 years after losing my daughter I still feel the same things. My only comfort is in my Faith we will be reunited again in Heaven. Until then I just try to live my life to make her proud.
@melissalong206@Rachlord Agreed. It’s been 18 years since I lost my daughter and I still feel the hole in my heart- in my very being. However, it does get a bit easier each year. I just hold on to my Faith that we will be reunited in Heaven.

Never forget that the ultimate goal behind these anti-"Critical Race Theory" efforts, book bans, teachers are "indoctrinators" and/or "groomers" narratives, etc., is to erode trust in public education in order to privatize it.
JUST IN: A federal judge has just ORDERED Llano County Texas to return "all books" that were removed from their libraries due to their content or viewpoint.
Library patrons successfully argued that "content-based restrictions" were likely unconstitutional.
The Texas judge is also prohibiting the officials from removing any more books while a lawsuit remains pending.
The books that were banned included a book for teens that calls the Ku Klux Klan a terrorist group, Isabel Wilkerson’s “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” and a comedic children’s book with three stories from Dawn McMillan’s “I Need a New Butt!” series.
The decision could set wide reaching precedent in light of recent book banning in Florida, supported by Ron DeSantis.
What a great victory for books! 💙
