Still Here

It's my birthday again, and I wish it weren't in the aftermath of a horrific shooting. I am reminded, though, that the worst of humanity is no match for its best. For every killer, there is someone who reveres all life. For everyone who gives in to hate, there is someone who refuses to let it in. This is how I choose to live, and I'm gratified to have had the chance.
