Our Shining Stars

Submitted by ub on

For everyone whose parents have passed away like mine have, may your good memories always stay with you every Father's Day, as well as Mothers Day because every day is Parents Day!!!

When our parents die... We lose our umbrella against bad weather.

When our parents die... They take our childhood with them.

When our parents die... We become orphans forever.

Happy Fathers Day to everyone who qualifies for these truly amazing blessings. Please, know there is absolutely no need to spend money on Father's Day. Share the lasting gift of LOVE.

While most dads around the country are going to be grilling out in their back yards on Father's Day, others might be working and therefore missing these family events and children's milestones, so keep trying to make the most of that special time together: A sporting DaD like my PAPI would be watching baseball, while others will be getting ready for @NBA.

Not until convention showtime is there one single delegate who is tied and bound to any specific candidate.

In fact, there is not a single “bound” delegate to the National Conventions. Not one delegate is required to vote for Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or any others who may have “won” votes during the primaries.

Each delegate will have to make their own choice. They are the only ones who will choose the nominee.
