Right now you are only a little over 5 weeks old, but you have truly changed my whole world. Your Mom and I always say that we thought we loved before you were born, but now that you have come into the world and we met you, our ability to love just expanded exponentially.

The time has come to question ourselves as citizens about our own actions and the legacy we are leaving behind.

Be fearless – do not be afraid to talk to each other and do not be afraid to fail.

Be the person who shows up. Be the person who continues to advocate for change because change is possible – it is possible in the most partisan of politics.
