My heart breaks for my son. She was his baby. They were very attached. He is a great young man, so great with kids and pets. He has just started composing music: maybe he will write something for his beloved Ciel.
By the way, he was the one who was dragged to rallies and protests his entire life. Was a baby in the stroller rallying for W during the 2000 election fiasco month. Had to grow up hearing Rush every day. And now his first voting election, he is apolitical. He did vote Trump but he really has zero interest in politics at all. He is in those rumspringen years but he doesn’t do too much crazy except music festivals and roller coasters. He’s quiet and such a good son. I mourn his loss more than my own.
Not everybody follows all the ins and outs of politics. It is another arena at which some people do well, others do not.
Politics, in the end, is simply another facet of our world. It does not run everything in our world nor ought it to. We know that when it does, the conditions in the world get closer to hell rather than closer to heaven.

I’m so very sorry, Yaelle. She was very beautiful.
