215. 💔

“Laugh with your happy friends when they’re happy; share tears when they’re down.” (Romans 12:15 MSG)

215. Found in just one of the who knows how many unmarked graves about the residential schools that took so much already from the indigenous communities here in Canada.

💔I grieve alongside all the families & community represented by these 215 treasures, and reitterate what should have been spoken over each one, every day of their lives, especially while they were away at school, torn from all they had experienced before:

You are loved.
You are seen.
You are known.
You are valued.
You matter.

May the families and communities who do not yet have closure be given that opportunity, God. May our government make this a priority now that it has become apparent this is not an isolated incident, and those who should have noticed turned the other way. And may justice be served in this world and the next on the perpetrators. 🙏😭
