Remember Mr. H?
.
.
The charismatic donkey that was built as a parade float but had recently been traveling around our town?
The one a local artist spent two years designing and building?
.
.
Mr. H was well loved in our small rural community and people looked forward to seeing him cruising from place to place. Homeowners could request a Mr. H visit and he would happily park on your lawn for photo ops and climb aboards.
And then?
This:
.
.
An event that’s shocked our close knit little town.

The following is a statement from our town’s state representative –

The artist donated this cat sculpture to our local elementary school and he happily greets children every morning as they start their day.
.
.
I wish I’d known about the little memorial gathering. I would have attended and mourned his loss.
.
.
As well as the loss of civility and common decency we’re currently experiencing in this country.
.
.
Rest In Peace Mr. H.
I’m hoping everything you and the flag you stood for isn’t dead as well.
