Following a secret Santa exchange, I can now proudly say that I own a customized Drake Maye Vancouver Canucks jersey. Gonna go out on a limb and guess that is the only one of these in the world: 1 of 1.
@drakemayeloverr how we feelin? Is this allowed?
I just left Minneapolis, where I was honored to meet with a number of grieving famlies and hear about their beautiful children--in particular Harper (10) and Fletcher (8), who died in the Annunciation school shooting. I also met another beautiful girl who is recovering well, thank God. We discussed a lot, but all the families had a couple of immediate requests:
First, to pray for Sophia, who continues to fight for her life every day. Pray for her health, pray for her swelling to be controlled, and pray for strength for her parents, doctors, and nurses.
Second, don't give the shooter the attention, but focus on the kids who were taken from us. I learned that Harper had a smile that could light up the room, that she loved visiting the national parks with her parents, and that she looked beautiful in her first communion gown. I learned that Fletcher was rambunctious and energetic, that he loved football and basketball, and that he had an amazing head of hair.
Yes, they were taken from their families far too soon. But in their short lives they made a big mark on the many people who loved them. Let's give them the attention they deserve.
Sophia’s Dad asked me to share with everyone that her condition is stable but still critical and the family is asking you to keep praying for her. Lots of prayers.
They are thankful for the love they have received from the community. Sophia is a fighter.

These would have gone nuclear in Sussex but in Minneapolis? Mildly impressive. Let’s fix that @iamtomskinner
