We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity. Leaders who can subject their particular egos to the pressing urgencies of the great cause of freedom … a time like this demands great leaders.

My brother & I split the care for our late mother in a manner we could manage with our other responsibilities. My brother trusted & validated my medical care decisions for our mother. I trusted his financial decisions for our mother. My late mother would boast that her children cared for her well. 🙏🏾

There's always criticism levied at newspapers for meek headlines, passive voice, and both-sidesism. It's often valid.
But the fact is: if you pick up an physical newspaper and actually read the thing, especially right now, you're going to come away with a pretty stark look at the state of America.

Taking a pause to remember my late mother who died about this time, shift change, on this day 6 years ago. As a nurse she told me people should try not to die at shift change. That she did, is one of the perfect moments of her death that still I cherish & laugh at. Obituary is long & she earned it.
