thin blue line

and on a subsequent friday, we said goodbye to another great american, sgt. sc***. 
the service lasted 3 hours - the longest single service i've ever attended. his daughters were steadfast and brave, speaking to thousands of listeners with strength and poise. co-workers, our representative sw*lw*ll, parishioners, singers, his chief, video. this man of god was well represented and revered.

the news covered it well, from the procession to the arena, to his hometown. the motorcade lasted 4 minutes in passing. the number of people standing at the side of the roads and on freeway overpasses, holding signs, waving flags, moves me. 

the highlight truly, was our last two minutes on property, when a sp*cial olymp*cs athlete spotted husband in the crowd and made a bee-line to him, crying, and hugging him while he crouched to reach her diminutive size. 

there is still beauty, truth and peace in the world. i know this to be true.
