    We just had a lifetime close pastor friend who died from Covid. He was healthy as a horse, had a farm outside of Fresno, California (yep, he was on a ventilator) and to see the anguish on his 4 kids faces and his wife who couldn't even touch their dad and say goodbye will haunt me forever. They said goodbye on FaceTime. I wish I wouldn't looked at the pictures. They had a parade of cars for the funeral. His wife is on medicine to cope. It has been heartbreaking to say the least.

    Here is a post that a friend of mine just posted on FB whose mother died yesterday. She was my former pastor's wife. So sad.

    Ok, this is going to be a post that is full of emotion and full of absolute madness. It's not political and it's not to offend. Bare with me, and I will give fair warning, I do not care about your discenting opinion. Empathy maybe, but I really want vent.

    So as many have seen my precious Mom passed away yesterday, in ICU, without me, or ANY of my family with her. I am distraught over losing my Mom and yes it has happend to many of you but my mourning for right now has turned to anger that I am going to express. I am very thankful that she had precious nurses to be by her bedside as she passed from this life to her heavenly reward, but it is ABSURB that I could not be with her then, NOR THE WHOLE ENTIRE WEEK.

    My Mom was 92 1/2 years old. She had an accidental fall and unfortunately she is no longer here. Earth's loss is Heavens gain. I could NOT visit her. My sisters in Atlanta and I had to either speak to her over the phone or facetime. We could not comfort her. We could NOT show her the love while she was slipping from this life to another, We could not do ANYTHING, but call for updates.

    Now, of course at 3:40am yesterday I got a call that she was slipping away and NOW I HAVE PERMISSION TO COME. Well she passed on my way at 3:47a. So, I can come when her life was almost OVER, and didn't make it? But I couldn't come earlier? I went into the hospital after filling out a form, with my mask and got to spend 45 minutes with her AFTER she passed.

    So I cannot get permission to come while she could have known I was there, but I can come when she was dying, unresponsive, AND I DIDN'T MAKE IT, then hang around ICU for an hour after she passed? OH and BTW, the COVID Isolation unit was 3 floors up and in another building. Oh, and my MOM had tested TWICE negative for COVID-19. As well as every other patient in ICU in the ward she was in of 10 beds. So don't give me this OH you could have gotten COVID-19 at the hospital and spread it in society. Well, if that be the case, GET READY WORLD, because I was there, of course as you know, I WAS THERE AFTER MY MOM PASSED, BUT THAT WAS OK! Don't worry because I wear a mask and wash my darn hands. And washed them before it became a norm.

    So it's ok for thousands of people a day to go to Home Depot or the grocery store, but I cannot be alone with my dying MOM 15 minutes a day? I am telling you that is lunacy!!!! Am I pissed, you darn right I am. Oh, you can't have drive up church sitting in a CAR, but make sure you go to Home Depot to pick up your lightbulbs with hundreds of people.

    Note, I can understand a COVID-19 patient not having visitors and having to have the ungodly task of having to die alone, which NO ONE should have to do. I get it. I also wear a mask to the very few places I venture out to like getting prescriptions or gas. I also pick up groceries at Wal-Mart (insert big corporate dialog here, NOT) that I stay in my car and they are loaded in trunk. But this is inhumane and idiotic.

    I wish all of you the best, and I hope that NONE of you have to go through this. I am glad we showed our love and expressed it to my Mom while she was alive, and I know she is celebrating with my Dad in a much better place tonight. In that I give thanks!

    Yep. I can see why he's so mad. I would be too, and nothing like this better happen.

    They are stealing our dear loved ones away from us all in the name of humanity. NONSENSE. This has been totally agenda driven from the origins in a Wuhan Lab by the ZPG movement from the hippy days. Democrats are the culture of death.

    Man, I feel for that guy. I would be angry too. I hope the backlash is fierce. The deep state agenda is very clear now.
