could ever cry. words simply cannot express the pain, anguish, and suffering that our family and friends have endured since george's murder. it has been truly unimaginable. but not nearly as unimaginable as the defendant's decision to take the life of a human being with no regard for the effect it may have on others. all those chauvin will be seen today and spend time in prison, he will have the luxury of seeing his family again. talking to them. he will likely get to spend time with them upon his release. these are all luxuries that my young cousin gianna was robbed of when chauvin made the active decision to kill her father. there will be no more birthday parties, no graduations, holiday gatherings, or other family celebrations. the laughter, hugs, guidance, advice, sense of security and those opportunities to simply say i love you are forever gone. they say time heals all, and while i generally believe that saying, it's challenging to do so given these unfathomable set of circumstances.
