@nckhui Oh Keung. My heart just hurts for you. She has such a nice, kind smile. Thinking about you and hope on your many walks that you find glimpses of both your sister and your mom in the beautiful things around you.

[Cris Charbonneau @crischarb]

@nckhui Oh Keung. She looks so gentle and kind. I’m so glad you got to spend time with her recently. I hope memories of her can bring you comfort. Sending love.

@DanGerlach5 Oh I am so saddened to hear Jim passed. He was such a good mentor to me and champion of so many others.

[Cris Charbonneau @crischarb]

I know many of my peers are feeling sandwiched in between caring for their families and caring for their aging parents. I wanted to share my journey and let you know, if you are a caregiver to a loved one, you are not alone. #fidelityassociate #caregivers

@jtotheill Pass the plate 😃

I have a severe allergy to bee stings and certain nuts that require me to carry an Epipen. And yet I haven’t for years because of the cost. Until this year. This was the cost on my old insurance $341.29. The cost on my new insurance? $10. Reform is necessary.

"We need more voices, not less, in the mix in these polarized and politicized times," writes @Mebane_Rash ahead of a new school year. "Continue to help us understand how to connect what's happening in classrooms and community with policy." #nced https://t.co/JZWzwEZu9z

@TheMikaya @WRAL Oh how I will miss you. Can’t wait to hear your next steps. Congratulations!

I’m in our nation’s capital today. ‘Equal Justice Under Law.’ The irony. #RoeVWade

[Cris Charbonneau @crischarb]

Spent the afternoon at Independence Hall, Liberty Bell and joining in on #Juneteenth events in this city of brotherly love. Lots of conversations with kiddos about what freedom means and what we can do for it to be more inclusive of everyone.

[Cris Charbonneau @crischarb]

#Juneteenth offers an opportunity to recognize an important milestone in America’s history. But we still have work to do to create a financial services system that is inclusive of everyone. #FinancialFreedom https://t.co/SLCPQi9PlS

EOGs can be something to look forward to every year. At least at our house they do… This year’s love notes. You’ve got this! ❤️ #wcpss #tradition

None of those answers saved lives yesterday.

[Cris Charbonneau @crischarb]

I can’t reconcile 3500 mass shootings since Sandy Hook. THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED MASS SHOOTINGS.

I’m allowing myself to feel the pain that families are feeling. I don’t want this to be normalized. We are so desensitized from what is murder. 🧵 #GunControlNow

This morning, Emily asked: “Dad, what do I do if this happens at my school?”

Every adult should have to answer that question of a teary eyed child. And please, do not say more drills, more security gates and cameras, arming teachers. That is not the answer.
