I was driving home from a grocery run and this kid no more than 4 years old caught my eye at a stop sign. He was staring at me and as I looked over at him, he smiled and waved. I smiled and waived back and he was so happy he got someone to wave back at him. I assume it was some game he was playing to see who would wave. I gave him a little honk-honk and left.
I don't know what the fuck happened to me but I got really emotional. All I could picture was a kid that probably looks exactly like him somewhere in a bunker having God knows what done to him.
I have had a very hard time sleeping over the past 5 years just thinking about the horrors. It comes at me time to time.
This particular moment hit me like a fucking brick. I went silent after and my wife noticed it. Obviously, I didn't say anything to her about what I was really thinking but man, that kids face is tattooed into my brain now.
I know…sometimes it just hits you. We’ve learned so much over the last 5 years that you don’t have time to really think about what has really been happening in our world under our noses for our entire lives. It’s deeply upsetting. I really don’t know how those who don’t know will handle this information when I think I’ll cry for days myself.
I don't think any of us are ready for the "proof" that is visual in nature. I've wanted it dropped for years and even went on a rant here a few times. But it would fuck me up. Destroy me. But nonetheless, it is the truth of the matter and for future generations, it needs to be known by the masses.
