Dear Emma,

.

It made my heart leap to hear your voice, to see you rise for the fallen, and to see you speak for the silenced. I was proud you made the choice to answer your call and howl out against this violence. I had hope not in his actions, but in yours. It cut through the factions, and we felt your innermost pours. Your heart and your soul joined your voice that now lives on in others, which starts to anoint the left behind, the mourning family of sisters and brothers.
