Asher has a lot of life to live yet, and Jada and Aaron also have a long road of maturation to go, but the early indicators are promising. I look forward to the 15-year-old version of Aaron chastising a friend's wayward racist remark, or the 20-year-old version of Jada attending a protest on campus not as a casual interloper but as someone who is truly invested, or the 25-year-old version of either of them not being that person who doesn't understand why their black friend has to take extra precautions when going out at night.
We all have a lot to learn and a lot of blind sports, prejudices, and flaws to overcome. That'll always be the case. But I wanted to take a moment to be thankful for what I'm seeing so far in Asher's big bro and big sis, because I am extremely proud of what I am seeing.
