A Sunday in the Park

Is it okay if I talk about something kind of heavy? I met a mom who I just crossed, and she had a toddler. They were actually from Ecuador. And he... He was passed out. They had been walking all night and he was passed out and something had stung him in the eye and he just looked like someone had beaten the shit out of him. And, you know, it's it's just she was like, please help me.

And I flagged down. Eventually, a border patrol car came by and I flagged it down. And I was like, hey, there's there's a minor. There's I think he's probably like five years old. He's passed out. And the guy just drove off. And eventually, like, an hour later, they came back. But we were... We were trying to, like, get this kid to, like, stay awake. This kid looked, like, rocky or something.

It was bad. And... And in the next couple of days, I like, I couldn't cry. I was like, why the fuck can't I cry? And I got back to New York and I get back to Queens. I take a day off. I go, I grab a coffee, you know, from those little carts. I'm like, I'm going to go to the park with a coffee. This person, the coffee stand person says, do you want cream or sugar? and I just started sobbing.

A Sunday in the Park

And I realized a couple of things. I realized what an important space a park is for me, like a safe space. And I also realized like that mom and that kid, I don't know, like I'll never, I don't know where they are. I don't know, they were heading to the Carolinas, I think, but you never know. And one day they will get to have a picnic in a park like this one. You know? Like, they will have a life.

I just met them on the worst day of their life. And they will get to be somewhere like this. It just really made me think about I don't want my reporting to just be the worst day of immigrants' lives. I also want it to be A normal day or a beautiful day. I'm sorry, did I ruin our day at the park? No, no. I didn't mean to ruin our day at the park.
