Same goes for elder care (even if the elder in question can’t express gratitude for it - they may have a hard time seeing past the loss of health and independence)
If you're the parent of a disabled kid, I just want to tell you I know it's hard and I know you feel like you're failing constantly, but you're doing it and you're doing the best you can and your kid absolutely loves you for it.

This is a really important corrective to a lot of reporting today. Trump did not—and cannot—federalize MPD. The police force remains under the ultimate control of the mayor.
Folks: Stop saying that the Metropolitan Police Dept. is under "federal control." The Home Rule Act allows the president to declare an emergency and make requests of the Mayor for MPD services. Chief of Police Smith continues to report to Mayor Bowser. code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/counci...

In the latest Superman film, Lois Lane and Clark Kent have a fight about what's more punk: edginess or kindness. The fate of something more than the mosh pit hangs in the balance.
