I continue to choose to believe, because it keeps me sane and functioning, that Love will redeem all pain and suffering in what we call the worlds. I honestly don't know how black and brown people--especially BIPOC women--continue to move through the world with love and grace; they are part of the god I believe in. Little Kohen is just the latest unimaginable casualty in centuries, or millennia of tragedies. We have so much brokenness to heal, but I think that's why we are here. Much love and peace to all broken hearts.
It really does. My mama heart is shattered and I suppose when I think of all the devastating ways mothers grieve — things outside our control, like illness or acts of nature, it’s already too much to bear. When it’s the result of human stupidity or violence or greed, I really start to wonder how people can lose the plot so completely. Absolutely guts me.
Hugs and love to you, my friend. May we keep our broken hearts wide open and hope we can make this world a gentler place to exist for everyone’s babies🙏🏼❤️🩹
Everything you write has six or seven separate points that just absolutely make my soul sing, I relate to them so hard. And those specific points are sometimes topically SO far apart, and yet somehow you weave it all together so perfectly. Thank you for continuing to spark hope in me.
Oh, Matt, thank you for this. I had other pieces of this puzzle rolling around in my head that I did not include because they felt too sad, so I am very thankful the pieces I kept were meaningful to you. Sending you a lot of love, thanks for being here❤️🩹

Thank you for honoring him.
I'm pretty sure the whole point is to keep loving even when my heart is bleeding and battered, but oof. This hurts.
