Cherishing the good memories is the only way to get through such a loss-that of a child.




Her horse walked behind the hearse as the streets of Bellville fell silent — a final farewell to an 8-year-old lost in the July 4 flood. 💔

RIP forever.

9. And it's all due...

... to Trump gutting the weather warning agency, and the MAGA assholes who refused funding from Biden for warning system updates. What irredeemable filth.
Sadly, sociopaths cannot feel shame or remorse, but psychopaths like Miller take pleasure in the pain they cause.

13. And let us not forget the lying bastards running that good christian camp

who lied for years about the location of those cabins, and the oh-so-wonderful director who held off evacuating the camp for over an hour after the warning came in.

15. I remembered him...

... after I'd posted. Thanks for filling in the gaps! It's a shame he died trying to be the hero. His public disgrace would have been some very satisfying schadenfreude.

10. Killed by Republicans, Fox News, Trump, Musk, the Doge boys and just stupidity.

We don’t want that flood warning system, “because Biden is a communist.”
Actual quote from ‘21 by a Kerr County resident.

She is my granddaughter’s age. She should be starting 3rd grade in about a month.

Oh little Miss Virginia If I could I would take your place.

26. Oh, my....

One of the saddest things to see is a riderless horse with the boots facing backwards. It's more heartbreaking when that horse's rider was just 8 years old.

Rest in peace, Virginia. May you be riding in Heaven.

27. This isn't getting the outrage it would if it happened

in California or some other blue state.

In fact the outrage is all about "how dare they politicize".

29. What's that lump in my throat...?
