We are afraid to connect‭. ‬I mean really connect‭. ‬Sit down with one another and talk and listen‭. ‬Share our hopes and dreams‭, ‬fears and worries‭, ‬in a real way‭, ‬show up unannounced to help in a time of need‭. ‬We are desperate to get past our normal discussion‭ ‬points‭ - ‬work‭, ‬the news‭, ‬kids and grandkids‭, ‬the Panthers‭ - ‬and we are ill-equipped‭. ‬
