I look at that younger profile pic and the handsome older man in this essay and my heart smiles—the courage, fight, heart, determination to not give up—to stand for your truth—for your beauty—for your people. Thanks for this beautiful reminder how precious life is and how we are to embrace every extra minute we are granted—

May this world grow kinder and accepting and respectful of —ALL.
