Hello and welcome back! In this episode, Kevin shares his dream, Hailey delights about a squirrel bridge, and we learn about the Von Maur shooting. When 19-year-old Robert Hawkins walked into the Von Maur at Westroads Mall in Omaha, Nebraska and began to open fire on holiday shoppers and store employees, countless lives were changed forever. But in the wake of such terrible tragedy, hope and healing would begin and people in Omaha and beyond would be touched by those who lost their lives, even 15 years later. Grab your tissues. This one’s a doozy.
