Yesterday was one of those days. I'm happily minding my own business, watching You Tube videos (Ben Shapiro has such a sharp tongue!), when I clicked on a recommended video. (First mistake ... don't trust the You Tube algorithm.) This video came up. For full disclosure, I did not watch the whole thing. I had to stop after four minutes.
A recent Gold Star mom crying over her lost son. From CNN. (Second mistake ... breaking my self-imposed blackout on CNN in all forms. I normally won't click on any link of theirs.)
What I found so horrifying was that the woman did not cut the interview short. The mom is crying the entire time. I cried to my husband about the video. He asked me why she agreed to do the interview. This is part of what broke me. I totally and completely get her reason. Her son, SPC. Etienne Murphy died. She wants the world to know about her son. BTDT. I went through that for a few years. Every time I met someone, I told them about Yossi a'h. He was here and he was gone and I felt like the world needed to know that something so precious was no longer here. After one of the yartzeits, it hit me that his friends never really will forget him. I had been so worried that 30, 40, 50 years would pass, and Michoel and I would be the only ones still crying over him. When I saw that wasn't going to be the case, a huge stone lifted from my heart. It really helped in the healing in knowing that he wasn't going to be forgotten; that his life had meaning and he made an impact on this world (for the better).
So why was I so upset? Why was I crying for this mom and her tragic loss? All the CNN interviewer saw was an opportunity to #BashTrump. WTG CNN! Politicize a bereaved mother's pain to try and hurt President Trump. It's INHUMANE! It's despicable and vile. There are certain lines you don't cross, and I would have thought that this was one of them. But no. Never let a good crisis go to waste. Who cares if you trample on the already shattered heart ... Hey! Maybe she will say something negative about the President.
It's a new low. The Left is unbalanced and totally unhinged. It is frightening to see how evil their agenda is, and how they truly have no heart what so ever.
To know more about this brave young man who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom ...
Etienne J. Murphy, SPC, U.S. Army, 22, of Snellville passed away Friday, May 26, 2017 while serving a tour of duty in Syria; he was a part of Operation Inherent Resolve. He was a loving husband and son, an amazing father to his two boys and a friend to many. He spent his days constantly joking and making anyone who came across him smile. He did everything he set out to do in his career and life and although, his life was cut short, his name will never be forgotten. He is survived by his loving wife, children, parents, brothers and a host of loving relatives and friends
Please take a minute and sign his guest book. Let his parents know that their sacrifice was not in vain. http://www.legacy.com/guestbook/dignitymemorial/guestbook.aspx?n=etienne-murphy&pid=185700707
