I still ride.
I still feel most like myself on a long stretch of highway with the horizon in my eyes and the engine humming beneath me.
I carry Aina’s laugh with me.
I carry Emily’s memory with me.
I carry the knowledge that sometimes the smallest act of compassion can redirect an entire life—maybe more than one.
The world didn’t shift that day.
But I did.
And so did Sarah.
And so did everyone who stood in that hallway.
Sometimes, changing just one moment is enough.
Sometimes… it’s everything.
