I never feel like there's a proper way to respond to your posts. Not because of you im any way, shape, or form; but probably because I don't see a way that anything I can say, emote, etc can help. I've been running Conduit 24/7 since you first shared it, so I can at least find some action that moves things in the right direction, but I wish there was more.

Whenever I see headlines about Iran, or anything else that reminds me of what's going on there, I think of your cousin and how many more people have been killed during this atrocity. I think about the pain and loss their living loved ones must feel.

In my experience, no one ever disappears. Our departed loved ones still exist, and do what they can to help us. I believe the best way for us to help them is to thank them. Even though I am a stranger to your cousin, I hope she receives my gratitude for anything she may be doing to help you and your family. Time for me to release some tears now. May peace and respect be prevailent in Iran soon.
