Together, we can break the world record for longest book. When this challenge gets the necessary number of entries, it will expire and we will turn it into a book. Each entry will be its own chapter. Feel free to build from existing entries or write something radically different.

Be strong

I know - this unusual for me. Keep a diary? I don't keep a diary, but I feel I need to write to keep some semblance of sanity.

What is happening? How could this happen? Everything that I knew, is no more and nothing that I had planned, will come to be. I don't even want to think about it, but I need to... I need to figure out a way to get my wife and kids to safety. How do we get out of this? Maybe we can make it to the old hunting cabin, but I don't even know if it's safe there. Is this the end? STOP IT! I can't think that way. I need to be smart and BE STRONG for the kids. Oh Lord, help me through this! I'm praying for strength, mental clarity and protection. Tomorrow is a new day, but I know it won't be any easier.
