Both Of My Teenage Granddaughters [View all]
Have anxiety. And so does their mom Our daughter. So we were quite thrilled when they decided to join us for an ICE out protest yesterday. They've been rejecting the idea because of fear of violence. (We are small town so almost never any violence)Anyway they had a good time. My daughter and one granddaughter admitted to jerkings a tear when they saw all the people protesting. You know, happy and grateful tears. The other granddaughter who probably has the worst case of depression and anxiety was totally into the protest, aggressively waving her sign, walking around and mingling. Our protests attract about 3 to 5 thousand in a small city of about 90k surrounded by very rural area. The girls live out about 40 miles. They have a lot of Latino peers not to mention their half African baby half brother. They have some friends that have conservative parents that wanted to come(of course because my granddaughters have lured them to the liberal side), and my granddaughters said let us check it out and maybe you can come next time. So when it was all said and done and they were happy they came, they said they would bring their friends next time. So proud.
