Having lost my hero father to assassination as a young girl, my prayers are with Charlie's children and widow especially. I know what sort of hurt those children will feel. Not a day goes by that I don't miss my father. Not one day since 18 July 1972. He was only 32.

My goodness, the back drops in our AU family are beginning to paint a wildly vast picture in my mind of how we all got here. You must be close to my age. I would like to echo the other comments I just read from Cowboy and Kris and just let you know that we are all glad you are here and regardless of “if you want to share more or else never share a word”, you have our respect and love. God bless you and literally everyone with big stories nestled inside. Wishing you peace and truth in your journey. 💞

it takes strength to share the pains in your life but that is why we are here. we all have something that has defined us to bring us here.

💯 I have been called to write my story (not in social media so much as an actual book). Honestly I might encourage everyone to do the same, whether it is intended to be published or not, such good therapy. Then maybe there is some tangible power (or at least healing) in rewriting it our own way and to our own liking. I am not sure where my intention will be, to help heal others through hard truths and let them know they are not alone throughout the life lessons or else to fantasize it and just see how that version of reality and perception makes a greater shift. The beautiful thing is that there are no rules stopping me from listening to my inner voice and spiritual guidance 😎

I am honored to be part of this AU family and to know some very fine folks here. 💪💞
