Thank you ((Retrokitten)) for articulating what has been on my heart for an hour or so. The only way ‘they’ win is if we quit, give up, surrender. I will have my mourning period, and then be ready to get back to work with a fury. I’m up for a good fight - how about you?

From Tolkien:

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. …
“ -from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Absolutely! We are sad now, but at some point anger is going to set in.

That is one of my favorite lines from my favorite movie. Thanks for posting it.
