I want my children to remember that no matter how hard your life is right now: Just wait; it is heartbreakingly beautiful and moving


Alex Pretti from his childhood friend

In the hours after a man was shot in Minneapolis, but before his name was released, @theverge’s creative director Kristen Radtke was working on coverage of the aftermath. Then his name was announced, Alex Pretti, and she realized he was her childhood best friend. She writes about how they met, when he was three and she was four, the things they did together, and the person he was. “As social media does its work putting bits and pieces together about each day of unfolding tragedy, more and more of us will realize that those pieces belong to someone we know.”
