The shadow of suicidal thoughts has returned to haunt once again. In this valley of darkness, I humbly ask for a simple and short prayer for my soul. Perhaps a Hail Mary. God bless you and keep you always under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother.

When their hair finally grows back, most people assume your Child is a survivor, fully cured & out of the woods. 💔 #ChildhoodCancer 💔

The richest man in America signed a document that could have gotten him hanged, and when someone sneered that he was safe because no one would know which Charles Carroll to come for, he picked up the pen and told the British exactly where to find him. His name was Charles Carroll, and the colonies were crawling with men who shared it. His own father was Charles Carroll of Annapolis. So when the Declaration of Independence came to him for signing in 1776, a delegate made a cruel little joke. He said Carroll risked nothing by signing. There were so many Charles Carrolls that the King's men would never know which one to hang. Carroll didn't argue. He leaned over the page and added three words to his signature: "of Carrollton." The name of his estate. His address. He was the only signer in the entire room who wrote down where he lived, and he did it on purpose, so that if the British wanted to come hang the traitor, they would know exactly which door to knock on. That is who Charles Carroll of Carrollton was. Here is what makes the moment even sharper. He was not a man with little to lose. He was the single wealthiest man in the thirteen colonies and the largest private landowner among them. While George Washington and John Hancock get talked about as rich men, it was Carroll who topped them all. When he signed, he was wagering the biggest personal fortune in America against a noose. And he was the last man anyone would have expected to be there at all. Carroll was Catholic. In colonial Maryland, a colony founded as a Catholic refuge that had since turned on its own, Catholics could not vote. They could not hold public office. They could not worship in public. The most educated, wealthiest man in America was, in the eyes of the law, a second-class subject barred from the very government he was helping to create. He had spent seventeen years being educated by Jesuits in France and spoke five languages fluently, and back home he still could not legally cast a ballot. So he became the only Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence, putting his name on a revolution that he hoped would build a country with room for men like him. That was its own enormous bet, made by a man the existing system had already shut out. Then he simply outlived everyone. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the same astonishing day, July 4, 1826, exactly fifty years after the Declaration. When they were gone, Charles Carroll of Carrollton was the last living signer left on earth. For six more years he was the final human link to that room in Philadelphia, the last hand that had signed, a living relic of the founding that ordinary Americans traveled to see and shake. He finally died in November 1832 at the age of ninety-five, fifty-six years after he wrote his address on a treason document and dared the empire to come find him. The richest man in America. The only Catholic. The last one standing. He had more to lose than any of them, every legal reason to stay quiet, and he signed his full address anyway. We remember the names we were handed in school. We forget the man who made sure his couldn't be mistaken for anyone else's. Which Founding Father do you think history shortchanged the most?

@scorebook_bob Hi Bob! Your daughter is beautiful!

The Carps and 4 Nats fans say “hi” from South Dakota. 🇺🇸 ⚾️

Please take time to share this today for us and help us reach our goal. We appreciate it so much.

Just letting everyone know that on the books I sell I only make about $2 from each book. And the payout isn't until August. So I don't want anyone to think I'm making money off these books. It's really not about the money when it comes to these books it's about the message and changing lives

I just wanted to do something good for once and people would be proud of me....

I can't sleep tonight A lot on my mind Didn't want to be in this situation again Please pray for me tonight

Time to reflect: I’ve lost friends and family and the version of life I once knew. But not myself. Cancer holds up a brutal mirror to relationships as not everyone can cope with watching someone fight for their life every day or even comprehend it. Some people become anchors and others become absences. Thank you to everyone who supports me, it is hugely appreciated 🙂
