Today I woke up with the news that a 7yo girl died in Border Patrol custody from dehydration and exhaustion. She suffered cardiac arrest. This is unacceptable. I can’t sit back, shake my head and do nothing. I have a 7yo. I can’t imagine trying to get away, to believe that life can be better elsewhere, and then having your whole world ripped away from you. 💔

and perhaps
what made her beautiful
was not her appearance
or what she achieved,
but in her love
and in her courage,
and her audacity
to believe:
no matter the darkness
around her,
Light ran wild
within her,
and that was the way
she came alive,
and it showed up in everything.
