OMG my heart is so filled tonight

Last edited Thu Aug 22, 2024, 01:24 AM - Edit history (1)

That speech by Tim Walz tonight was amazing. And his son's reaction, my heart melted. I too, have suffered with ADHD and anxiety all my life. I was born with encephalitis and it messed me up pretty bad, I lost both my parents by the time I was 14. To see his son Gus have that reaction was so wonderful. In addition my foster nephew was the student Mr. and Mrs. Walz started the GSA with in Mankato. My foster brother's family lived there at the time and my other foster brother was a Lutheran pastor in North Mankato. You could just see the pure goodness and noble humanity eminating from Walz as he introduced himself to the nation. My heart is full and my hope and desire is off the scales to work for this candidacy!!! Mike C
