My mom’s older brother passed away a few years ago. He was the quiet type. Lived in the same modest house for decades. Wore old flannels. Fixed his own car. No one ever thought of him as “well off.”
After he died, we learned he had been buying small life insurance policies over the years. Not for himself. For his nieces and nephews.
In his will, he left each of us a payout that would only be released for one thing: education, starting a business, or a down payment on a first home.
No speeches. No “remember me” letter. Just paperwork and signatures.
Turns out he had also been anonymously paying for one cousin’s trade school tuition when their parents couldn’t afford it. None of us knew.
He never posted about helping anyone. Never brought it up at dinner.
He just quietly positioned the next generation a few steps ahead.
Sometimes love looks like preparation no one sees coming.
it’s crazy the things we don’t even realize we don’t have because of racism, i never even thought about the fact i never saw a black fetus illustrated & now that i’m seeing it, my mind is really blown that i never saw one before now
Check out @AirlessJordan’s tweet on the Spurs’ historic achievement. It might’ve flown under the radar, but it deserves attention given that it's a rare NBA occurrence matched only by San Antonio's own 2012 streak from April 16-25, when players like Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard alternated top scoring roles.
What's crazy is that there are still guys on the bench who can keep this streak going.
Note also that the game versus the Knicks in Vegas is not listed. Dylan Harper led all scorers, but the "extra" game in not considered part of the regular season schedule.
