I see you.
I hear you.
I stand with you.
What can I do to help?
I heard these words spoken today in a video sent to me by a friend. These words resonate deeply with me.
I am trying to figure out how I can help. I want to help. I accept help for my son with severe autism. I am so thankful for the employees who care for him every single day at his day program. The majority of those employees are African American.
I had a conversation yesterday morning with the driver of the van that safely gets Brandon to/from day program. I thanked him for what he does. I told him I appreciate him. I told him I hope he is safe. He had tears in his eyes and thanked me for my words.
Stay well, my friends. Stay safe, my friends.

Thank you for speaking out. This truly made my day. I will be discussing this on my next post:
I am sad, angry, frustrated, and a whole bunch of other emotions. Tomorrow I will be looking into how to help more.
