Short Update
We don't live close to El Paso, but very close members of our Ranch foreman's family were among the victims. My grandfather hired him 35 years ago and he is way more than an "employee". We, of course, know his family and knew the victims very well.
This is the reason we all went to El Paso.
I won't give any more details out of respect and privacy reasons.
But my writing time and state of mind was impacted by all of this. I am still going to post as soon as possible.
Thank you all for your understanding, your very kind words.
Yours truly
Vanessa
