It's true that I was only in Joplin, Missouri for just under 24 hours while on my trip last summer. And it's true that I only talked to a few people while I was there. And it's true that I only spent a little bit of money while I was there as my tiny, tiny contribution to Joplin's recovery.
But it's also true that those few hours and few people made a big impact on me, and underlined some very important lessons about courage in the face of trauma and devastating loss.
And that's probably why this video, just released on May 1st, makes me totally lose it.
