@Getonthebus99 @dremilyportermd I am so very sorry for this to happen to your son and your family. Does he also live in AZ? I’ve seen a lot of the threads reference FL, TX, AR and LA but not AZ yet. Although we all know it’s coming.

@DrNatStrand Ohhh that is so very stressful. I’m so sorry! Having our security Authenticator go wonky at work probably didn’t help to catch up on anything from home too. Hugs and good vibes your way!!

Rest In Power Mr. Lewis

[John Lewis @repjohnlewis]

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way. #goodtrouble

“It’s tempting to think ‘a little’ isn’t significant and that only ‘a lot’ matters. But most things that are important in life start very small and change very slowly, and they don’t come with fanfare and bright lights.”
