The Shot That Changed Everything
On the evening of May 25, 2020, a routine police call in the city of Minneapolis unexpectedly turned into a tragic event that would soon dominate global headlines and ignite one of the largest waves of social protest in modern history. A 46-year-old man named George Floyd had been detained by officers from the Minneapolis Police Department after a local store employee reported that a customer had allegedly used a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill. What initially appeared to be a minor investigation rapidly escalated into a deadly confrontation that was captured on video by bystanders standing nearby on the street.

The Quiet That Follows the Applause
I didn’t cry at the end of Better Call Saul. I cried three days later, while washing dishes. The water was hot, the sponge worn thin, and suddenly—without warning—I saw Kim Wexler’s hands again. Not in the courtroom. Not in the finale. But in that tiny Albuquerque office, adjusting the blinds just so, trying to control one small thing in a world spinning out of her grasp.

The Song That Brought Him Back
After my mother passed, grief settled into our home like winter fog—thick, gray, and impossible to ignore. He stopped whistling while fixing the sink. Stopped tapping his boot to the oldies station. Even his laugh, once so loud it startled the dogs, vanished into a silence so heavy it filled every room. For two years, he moved through life like a man walking in someone else’s shoes. So when he said, voice barely above a whisper, “Let’s go south for New Year’s,” I didn’t ask why. I just booked the tickets.
