An act of kindness can live in someone’s memory for a lifetime as this lovely story shows:

“When I was 13 my dad died of leukaemia. Most of my school friends didn't care but one girl, not a special friend, made a point of stopping me in the corridor one day to say how sorry she was and how hard it must be for me. I never forgot her."

I am so sad for Renee Nicole Good and her family. Her life was taken from all of us. I feel a profound mix of sadness and anger right now. I am just so sorry this is happening. Sending love to everyone grieving this loss.

I am so glad HFC (Hilary for Charity, the foundation for #dementia caregivers created by Lauren Miller Rogen & Seth Rogen) has allowed me to do something small to make this world a little kinder. It's a monthly support group I lead, "Keeping Each Other Company: #Caregiving and #Grief."

I am also so grateful to HFC for listing my #book written w/#neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain, as a recommended read.

Alice Wong helped me accept my disabilities.

She taught me there’s no social justice without disability justice.

She encouraged me to start The Disabled Ginger and was a friend & mentor.

She won’t be forgotten.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down:
