This Historic Day
Kevin McCullough
Today, around 2 p.m. Eastern Time and noon Mountain Time, the nation will publicly and formally mourn the loss of Charlie Kirk. For ten long days, grief has been held privately—families, friends, colleagues, congregations—all clutching at their sorrow behind closed doors. But today, the private grief will be allowed a public utterance, something our people have desperately needed.
In the swirl of heartbreak, certain “necessary” matters have been addressed. Swift justice is already underway in the search for and capture of his killer. The transition of leadership within his organization has been secured. The financial resources to guarantee the care and future of his children have been raised and provided. In one sense, the pragmatic checkboxes are completed.
That leaves us, on this day, free to do the one thing our souls have been aching to do: cry, mourn, and grieve.
But let me let you in on a little secret. Today will not be a day of regret. Today will not be a day of despair. Today will be a day of celebration and remembrance.
