Abraham Lincoln: He Now Belongs to the Angels

Abraham Lincoln was an iconoclast, a trailblazer, a man with locomotive unconventionality. He is a true hero. He is my hero. He gave this country so much needed healing and balance and truth during one of our toughest wars. He sacrificed so much of himself even while battling depression, a failed marriage and the death of one of his children. He stood fervently strong to his morals and integrity.

As any and all good presidents or powerful people who are brave enough to speak truth, breathe truth and live and act on their morals and integrity, their lives are usually taken from us far too quickly. For there are many dark, greedy people who live in so much fear that they can't imagine contributing and helping others. So when you have a man who shifted the mainstream in such a profound way, those that are terrified of change or sharing or equality of color have to do away with the one who so dares to stand up for what's right and try and bring balance to a fragile new America, we lose that person and the greater possibility he could have continued to bring to this great nation.
