As it were…

To the man in Grand Rapids Michigan yesterday who paid for my grandmother’s groceries:

You paid for the groceries of an almost 90 year old widow who still cries each night

She’s buried two sons

Yesterday, you gave her a moment of grace

If you ever see this;

Thank you ❤️

"I need you to set aside your lived experience because it doesn't fit with mine," is how so much discourse and debate happens out here. We desperately need to learn how to do this better.
