Note: This is more or less a continuation of my Little Blue Feather blog. While I didn’t mention what I was actually dealing with, prayer-wise, in Little Blue Feather, I’ll explain it in greater detail here. Not so much about the discovery of the Blue Jay feather, but the pains in my heart that led me to that moment, the things I asked and talked to God about, and what happened between Dad and I the next day.

Dusk was settling in as I hiked alongside the sandstone hogback, listening to and picking out the birdsong as I strode the red sand path.

Note: I’d much. much, much, much rather write a Harry-Potter sized book series on a pink fairy princess than anything like this piece. But as an American, a gun owner, a hunter, a daughter and big sister, with friends and close family who are teachers, parents to young children, current and former military and law enforcement personnel, and overall brave souls who would seriously die to protect a stranger. I feel obligated to write about the current state of my country. And, yes, I get a little graphic and pissy to prove a point.

I am not shy when it comes to these things. I know many people are, but I am not. So, if you're not like me and can't handle a lot of heavy and graphic descriptions of what happened in Uvalde, as well as what has happened elsewhere, then I suggest you do not continue.   

Also, the details in this piece are subject to change depending on what the ongoing investigation into this tragedy finds. The resources I've been using have been standard news sources, as well as youtubers such as H3H3 and Mercado Media. Two resources I find to be honest and reputable. 

Finally, I began writing this piece at midnight, so this piece might get a little extra "spicy", because I'm really tired, my heart throbs, I can't stop thinking about what if this happened to me, or my friends, or my own damn family, and I may even be a little drunk...

“I did it all

I did it all

I owned every second

this world can give

I saw so many places

The things that I did

Yeah, with every broken bone

I swear I lived…”

~ The CF theme song

AKA “I lived” by OneRepublic.

Cirrus clouds stretched thinly across the blue morning skies, and a warm sun reflected off our white Jeep as we followed a winding backroad through the great red rocks of the Front Range.
