Pause for a second and really think about this…
How many hardships did they survive?
How many silent battles did they fight?
How many tears did they wipe away?
How many moments of joy did they celebrate?
How many love stories began so that yours could one day exist?
How many dreams for a better future were whispered into the dark?
All of it…
just so you could be here, alive, in this moment
@semarroy72@Gatwick_Airport I showed them this (thank you for helping launch it 🙏🏼) and a medical letter and they ignored it. I complained to the supervisor and he said it was a regular issue. What annoyed me was the way security thought they could coerce me with intimidation tactics. Not cool.
