#IAmTheResistance I want to share a story about a kid named Nick. Nick was our landscaper when I was a teenager. He came to the US legally during the summer and owned his own Landscaping business. He mowed our lawn each week and had the most amazing smile and kind eyes /1
When I was 23 I got married in my parents back yard. It was immaculate and Nick had worked so hard to make it the most beautiful setting for my special day. A few days before the wedding Nick was pruning the flower pots I had planted and I joined him 2/

I told him he was good and kind and such a hard worker. I acknowledged the success of his business and I let him know that I appreciated everything he had done for my family. Nick worked for my parents up until last year. I always made a point to chat with him when I saw 5/
Full because of people like Nick. I never understood why my parents let me struggle when they could have monitarraly fixed my problems. I know know that they were assuring I grew up with character and appreciation. I& #39;ve raised my girls the same way and I see their 8/
