…Charlie often said that without God, freedom becomes chaos. And he believed liberty could only survive when anchored to truth. And I remember in one of his speeches, He told the audience that the opposite of liberty isn’t law. He said it’s captivity.

Im curious, has there been any word from Charlies parents?

I watched some of the presentation but did not see his parents in the mix.

You would think his parents would have been on the dais to see the very high honor awarded posthumously

Adding: heard that Charlie’s mother was not feeling well, but they were close to the front.

If you look at the video, Kathryn Kirk looks absolutely and totally devastated, it’s a wonder she didn’t collapse. 😔

The soul crushing, gut wrenching grief is just unfathomable. It’s bad enough to lose a loved one, a CHILD - to disease, to a car accident even - but this was a deeply disturbing, very public, uniquely social media captured, grotesque murder in open daylight.

Click the video. Judging from how they look, their posture and expressions say it all I’m afraid. 😢

The thing is, she’s keeping so busy, that it probably helps to cope. But when things slow down for her, that’s when it’s going to get really rough.

Regarding Erika: oit must be bad enough as a widowed wife…even with a faith as fierce as hers.

But for the mother, Kathryn who is not a public figure at all, losing a son, a CHILD in the uniquely horrifying way she did…it must be a pain on a whole other level.

...and he was such a GOOD young man. That makes it worse in many ways.
