Oh Dad💔💔💔💔, I don’t even know what to say. My heart is so broken that I feel like I can’t breathe half the time. 💔 These last two years have been such an emotional roller coaster, and I have never in my life witnessed someone fight so hard to live. You wanted to be here so badly. You fought with everything you had, not just for yourself, but for all of us. As painful as these last two years have been, they have also been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Being able to walk through it all by your side, spending so much time together, and making memories I will cherish forever. Maybe that was God’s gift to us all along. Two years ago, things looked so scary, but you kept fighting. You fought long enough to meet Ranger, to make so many more memories with your kids and grandkids, and to give us time together we might not have otherwise had. Life slowed down, and we learned to cherish every little moment with you. I will hold those memories close to my heart for the rest of my life. Dad, I am just so sad. It physically hurts. I already miss our daily phone calls, sometimes multiple times a day, talking about anything and everything. I miss your voice, your laugh, and knowing I could pick up the phone and call you whenever I wanted. Even when you were going through the hardest battle of your life, you were still such a rock in ours. You brought so much joy to everyone around you. You were truly the funniest person, and somehow, even in your final days, you still found ways to make us laugh. I have never known anyone stronger than you. I am so incredibly proud to be your daughter. I would give anything for more time, but I find peace knowing you are no longer hurting and are finally healed in the arms of Jesus. I love you so much, Dad. I wasn’t ready for a life without you. I don’t think I ever would have been. Until I get to hug you again. ❤️

Something’s brewing in St. Paul: a $4.14 ticket with a very specific catch. First pitch? 6:37 p.m. Your entrance? 8:20 p.m. sharp. Fashionably late? Contractually obligated. Grab a Timed Ticket for Friday, May 14 vs. Indianapolis, claim the best available seat when you arrive and stay for postgame fireworks. All for $4.14. (Some would charge $1,000 for the privilege.) Only 1,001 available. Be late to the game, not the deal. | bit.ly/3UJxSXl

On this day in 1977, Meat Loaf released ‘Bat Out of Hell.’ After years of record label rejections, Steven Van Zandt helped get it signed. Jim Steinman's theatrical rock epic went on to sell over 40 million copies worldwide.

NEW: Phi Beta Kappa says Lt. Gov. Flanagan has in fact been a "member ... in good standing" since 2002. Which means, it seems the WSJ was wrong and Flanagan was wrong about being wrong. By @Allie_Kite: startribune.com/peggy-flanag…

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

My dudes. This stale crusty piece of mental impairment had secret service chasing after him because he missed the entrance to the car and just kept on going. They all spring into action realizing the idiot went for a dementia walk. 🤦 😂🤦Jesus H.

Two coyotes chased a baby deer into our pasture. It ran straight under our biggest mare... She's nineteen hundred pounds and she would not move off that fawn. She stamped and kicked until both coyotes gave up. Then she put her nose down to check on it.

Ilhan Omar spent four years in a refugee camp and ended up becoming a Congresswoman. She represents the best of America, while Donald Trump represents the worst.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day. And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.
