As I watched the prettiest blonde headed four year old I know dance around the room without a care in the world and being happy living in the moment of just being four I could not help but feel saddened by the sad state we have allowed this country sink to and what the future will hold for all the Ava's in this country if we do not right this ship and change course. Not showing one sign of her struggles with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis as she danced around the room between opening presents she ran up to me and with the experience and wisdom of all her years in her eyes she cried out "poppa this is just the most best birthday ever."<br />If a man ever needed a reason to fight and fight hard then there it was and with a tear in my eye I gave her a hug and said I love you Ava.... <br /><br />Brock see you at the NC PATCON and beyond...Michael Downinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337073997302676770noreply@blogger.com
