00:00Rene had a way of showing up in the world that made you believe things were going to be okay.
00:05Not because she ignored the hardship, but because she chose optimism anyway.
00:10She chose to look for what was good, what was possible, and what was worth loving.
00:17Nene loved fiercely, openly, and without hesitation.
00:22As a mother, Rene poured herself into love.
00:26The kind of love that shows up every day, that sacrifices quietly, that cheers loudly, that believes deeply.
00:35Her children were, and are, her heart.
00:39There are billions of people who now know her name, and it would be so easy to fall into the false belief
00:45that great heroic things are required to overcome difficult things in the world.
00:48But as Tolkien wrote, it is the small, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay.
00:56Small acts of kindness and love.
00:59In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation,
01:04thinking that perhaps Nene's death would bring about change in our country.
01:11And it is not.
01:16The completely surreal scenes taking place on the streets of Minneapolis are beyond explanation.
01:25This is not just a bad day, or a rough week, or isolated incidents.
01:36These encounters with federal agents are changing the community,
01:43and changing many lives, including ours, forever.
01:46And it's not just a bad day, but it's not just a bad day, but it's not just a bad day.
