Day 1648 without my daughter. I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I keep wondering why I am not dreaming of her. I find myself afraid that I am losing images of her. My house is filled with silence, her morning singing no longer echoing into my room. My heart hurts.

2) I get messages calling me a racist, an opportunist. I know this isn't true. Why would anyone say those things to me? I don't understand it, all I know is that if we had properly secured the border that the drugs that took my baby from this world would never have been here.

3) I pray every day for the strength to get through the day and miraculously God answers my prayers and I go on, but it feels wrong to go on without her. How can anyone take the main purpose of someone's life away from them and expect them to go on as if nothing happened?

4) I see the news media calling me a racist, a bigot, a hater because I want to prevent this from happening to another family. My heart hurts even more. When did our country start hating so much that they would turn a blind eye to the suffering and loss of Angel families?

5) I remember a time when we rallied around those who suffered and lost loved ones. Have we "progressed" so far that our own people's lives don't matter anymore? Have we become so callous that we just don't care about the collateral damage and lost lives from poor gov't policy?

6) It feels like we have moved away from love and towards something dark and empty, filled with hate and anger. When gov't policy can reach into our homes and destroy our families it's time to fix the gov't., I will continue to fight to do that because Tiffany would want me to.

7) Every single day I am tempted to let the anger inside me take over and burn the world down for taking her from me. But I don't let that happen. I remind myself that God has a greater purpose for me, my anger cannot fix this. So I reach out in love and tell her story instead.

8) This is not about hating anyone, it's not about politics, it's about how much we value our families and children. If we no longer value those two things, then we are truly lost as a nation and as human beings. Pray for love, healing, truth, security and justice we need them.

I made this video for Tiffany. Tiffany if you can hear me in the universe not a second goes by that I am not thinking of you and missing you desperately. Loving you always and ever, Mom.

My god, this tweet made me cry. Although I have never met your daughter, I could hear her singing, and see her face as you described. This should never happen!

Lost my nephew, recently, best friend years ago, to drugs, it is senseless, and the loss we feel is immense, however it can strengthen our resolve to not allow their deaths to be in vain, but as a conduit fixing what is wrong, so others do not have to experience the pain of loss.

As politicians play with lives and safety of our children for political points, we suffer and it will continue until we remove these hideous beasts from office. Trillions in debt and our politicians are on 6-week vacation dreaming of ways to become exceedingly more powerful.
