I’m learning to be content in these moments of uncomfortability .. take a pause.. eat good food.. enjoy your people.. take the naps .. and be content. You’ll accomplish the goal. You’ll get the relationship.. you’ll get the family.
My dad sent us a picture of him getting an infusion at Duke this morning… this man says “I’ll feel like the Black Panther in just a few days.” Why is he like this?
The saddest part - my little cousin says “ I’m glad everybody knew what to do in this situation. I’m glad everybody is safe.” These kids are so conditioned to this sort of trauma. It’s sad. It’s scary.
Oh and the police made no arrest. Kid was identified, car was found, gun found
My little cousin threw a cute grad party last night. My hired him a cute venue, decorations, catered food… the whole 9.
The part that’s absolutely ridiculous is how a kid - not even a friend of my cousin - brings a firearm to the event.
I’m outraged. I’m trying to be okay. I went from the cool chaperoning the party to consoling scared kids. Helping kids call their mom. Screaming kids looking for their friends. We shouldn’t have to keep dealing with this.
