Send Prayers

Today’s draft is inspired by a group text I was sent by mistake. I am fascinated by what could happen if we saw every mistake as an opportunity for connection.

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published"Angel LeTour is getting worse.She is on meds now for her ALS, hoping it doesn't get worse.She and Ted are headed home from Caliwhere they went to see the grandchildren.Send prayers. "In the time it takes me to read this one mis-sent text,eight more come through the thread,promising their prayers. I don't know Angel LeTour,I have no business knowing her business -- and yet --who am I to refuse a human, frightened and in needin the days before the New Year turns.I move my thumbs over my fingerprinted screen:"Sending prayers."
