Wow this video really did touch me. Everything you said is so true! There’s no room for hate in this world. There never was and it has to stop! I was a runner from 3rd grade all the way till my 2nd year of college. I LOVED RUNNING! I still do and will always hold a special place in my heart for running. I can’t imagine my parents and siblings getting a call like that. Saying I was hunted down and shot to death while doing something that I’ve always loved to do. Running. I can’t believe for 10 weeks an arrested wasn’t made😞 I know his family is really going through it right now. I hope and pray that Justice is served in this case. None of this should have ever happened.
Thank you so much Ryan for posting this beautiful tribute 💕 It does need to stop and we need to speak! I LOVE YOU AMAUD ❤

Hi Ryan. Thanks for creating your tribute. Figuratively and literally it is moving. My wife told me about this Friday morning by text when I was at work. A little while later I heard the details, and it hit me hard right in the gut. A couple of weeks ago I lost a dear friend, and the reaction was about the same. But I never knew Maud. Anyway, when my lunch break came, I ran 2.23 miles right away. I don't run much, but I can do this. Once on a July 4th riding my bike to the high school in the evening for the fireworks I veered of into a cul-de-sac where people were celebrating and some surly guys on lawn chairs started yelling "We don't allow your kind around here" and threw beer bottles at me! Have to ask, I rode out of there, was that the right thing to do? Perhaps a rhetorical question? It makes me sick too. My parents told me about times they had experienced racism. Dad was of Chinese ancestry grew up in the UK. Mom was a war orphan from Finland. I subscribe to the classical stoicism philosophy, be kind to everyone because life is hard and everyone is in a struggle. Marcus Aurelius said, "The best revenge is not to be like your enemy." Maybe, maybe not, but the point is to not become that which you despise through my own thoughts and actions. It's hard. I wept.
