Tragic news out of Iowa City High this weekend.
42 year old Wegayewu Faris, a custodian at the school, died while trying to save an 8-year-old girl in the Iowa River.
A true act of heroism and bravery, RIP.
The world is moving too fast. We want everything done in the blink of an eye. We can't wait, we can't stay still. It's always a race between us and the time, and time usually wins which frustrates us. But what, if for a moment we stop, we grasp out breath and just live.
TW: Thoughts of suicide.
3 weeks ago, a grandmother wrote to me about her grandson's battle to get treatment at the only public-funded psychiatric hospital in SD.
I wanted to write that he got to HSC after waiting 9 weeks. But he never got there.
