I will never get over all that has been gained through these troubling times. I believe one of the most powerful things that have emerged in the mist of this is the countless friendships. I met Anne, believe it or not on Facebook. We had a conversation about everything  going on in our country, and we made a connection and our friendship was born. Even though we may essentially  be strangers to each other,  theres one thing that makes us closer than anything. We are patriots! And that very truth will never push us apart, it will only bring us closer together.
