Today’s post is a tough one. I debated posting this, but my heart is just aching too much. I’ll just say it: #FamiliesBelongTogether. That is not a political issue. It is not a partisan issue. This is a HUMAN issue. Everyone deserves human dignity. If you’d like to help, this article has some great resources.
