I'm not sure who turned my words into a meme, and included U.S. citizens (most of whom do not want a new war!), but I appreciate how many people are connecting with it. May all of us, in all of our different situations, somehow help bring the justice this world so desperately needs. 💔

I wondered where the red hair in my family originated and Family Tree tells me it’s the King of Scotland circa 1400s. Very like my dad to plug away at family history but never mention that tidbit. (It’s not a Mormon pioneer story and he wouldn’t want us to think anything of it!)
