Women’s March heart— #griefheart number 274

Women’s March heart

My friends and I joined the Women’s March in Richmond Virginia today. It was a lively event with chants and singing. The signs were great. And funny. I parked at a friend’s house in the fan museum district and when I got out of the car, this was right in my face. A sign?

As we were walking in Cary Town I thought about how Charles loved protests and marches. And how much he loved Cary Town. Other than the James River, it was his favorite area in Richmond, a city he loved so much and told me he’d never leave. But he did. And not in the way I would have ever imagined.

This one is for all the women and angel moms out there who marched today for something they believe in.
