I slept on your obnoxious, patronizing reply. I'm making time for you. First, it's spelled equivalent. You use 2 spaces after ending punctuation, which suggests you may be 55+. That alarms me. As I would expect someone of that age to have the self-awareness & discernment to ⬇️

recognize that a snarky reply like the one you left is at best inappropriate & at worst a beggar call to be checked verbally in the way I am about to check you. Your mask information is not needed or wanted. You must be a new follower, I will enlighten you.

I have MS and the medication I take destroys my white blood cells so they don't attack my brain or spine. I am heavily immunocompromised & my life changed after Covid-19 was bungled massively by the President. I mastered the precautions & remained uninfected for 3.5 years.

I didn't gather. No Christmas at mom's. My college son tested 3 days prior & day of before he came for holidays. I masked w/ an additional 5 layer filter. Air purifiers. I did everything right. I lost a lot of time w/ my adult child. You don't have the right to condescend to me.

You THINK you do, but you thunk wrong. I don't know if you have a child. On Sept. 11, 2001 my son was one. It was my birthday. We were playing w/ puzzles on the living room floor. He was in my arms as I went to get a few cards out of the mailbox, I put him down to wash my hands.

I turned to see the image of the first tower w/ black smoke billowing. I read the scrolling news at the bottom. A small passenger plane, possibly a Cesna, was suspected to have crashed into it. A few moments later, I saw a full-size commercial airliner hit the second tower. Live.

My knees buckled and I dropped straight to the floor. If my son was in my arms I likely would have dropped him. The horror that washed over me was thick and cold. The phone line was busy for everyone I called. My mother & brother are from NY. My grandmother. It was home to the

first of my Irish immigrant descendants. My school field trips were to the Garden. I love NY. People were running, screaming on the street. People were starting to die in those towers & already dead. An hour later, I watched the South Tower just.. it just gave way. Straight down.

Unknown to us millions watching this live, Flight United 93 from Newark was fighting back against the terrorists. I'm recanting to bring you to where I was that day, and with who.

My sincere hope is you have the self audit ability to recognize that you overstepped

with your snide 'hope' for me. I know more about Covid-19 protection & prevention than most, likely including you. I have been vaccinated 8 times. I have sacrificed to do what needed to be done. I am 47 years old & have lived a difficult life.

I have learned much. Kept my mouth shut much. You made my personal share your business, so you are my business now. I'm not 'sweetie'. You're not a Covid-19 mask advocate hero. You're anemic in discernment & hella insufferable. That's unfortunate, but I hope you have more time.

You don't always get it right and you don't always have the self-awareness to realize when you're about to say something inappropriate. Please take this as a verbal invite to reflect on your spontaneous stupidity. And do better moving forward.

In closing, I plan to have the day I deserve and have the same 'hope' for you. Get fucked.
