For YOU, I am Thankful

It is the end of 2021, and I have a lot of thank yous to dish out, but I am so afraid that I will leave someone out that I am just going to say for you I am thankful. Thank you to everyone that helped me along my journey in 2021! Each of you made my life better and contributed to my successful outcome. My ups were way up because you stood beneath me and pushed with all of your might. My downs were not hard to swallow because you had so many sweet things to offer like encouragement, help when needed, support to hold help me up, and yes, advice that helped me understand why I was down. Some of you walked a mile in my shoes and took some of the hits to make sure that the blows did not take me out alone. Others stood up and defended my rights to exist even when my mistakes were hard to let go of. Making it through 2021 required a lot of help from all of you, and I thank you for sharing my load. I will probably need all of your help all over again as I enter 2022, so please know that you are cherished, loved, adored, and NEEDED by me as I take on the next 365 days in 2022! So, as we say goodbye to 2021, let's grab on to love, hope, peace, and prosperity for 2022. No, I am not talking about money, and I am talking about you and your friendship through the coming year. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Mount Rainier Police Staff Suffers the Death of Two Fathers on Saturday

It is the holiday season, and even during the holiday season, life goes on, and deaths do occur.

The Mount Rainier family is still intact, but two members of our police force fathers (Herriott and Calloway) transitioned on Saturday. Please keep their families in prayer.

I do not have any details, but I know that this is hard for most and even harder during the Christmas season.
