It is the morning after the night before
I am gutted.
I am not hungover
I did not eat all the chocolate chip cookies Ben made
I hugged my kids this morning. I hugged my Shih Tzu.
You can take me out of the Army, but you can’t take the Army out of me.
I swore an oath for my whole life to protect and defend the Constitution, and I will.
I will be the change I want to see in the world.
And today, we start with hugs.
I’m grieving.
