Yesterday was a crazy day,
not only for the city of Dallas, but for my service dog Kona and I. I had
just left from spending time with my one-year-old daughter. I am so
grateful for being able to spend time with her because no one is promised tomorrow. After my visit, I drove to Dallas (downtown
area) to get some dinner. I noticed that there was a big crowd of people
protesting about the recent acts of police violence. After about 30 minutes, I
heard gun shots and I immediately reacted. Although the shots did not seem
close to me, I was still anxious about it. So I took cover and my service dog
Kona began to bark. I noticed a police car coming toward us with its
lights and sirens on. After a few minutes, it was chaos. From police cars with
lights and sirens, to gun shots, and people running in all directions while
screaming. My adrenaline was so high, causing me to have a PTSD attack because
of the high anxiety levels that were triggered by the gunshots and
screaming. I thank my GOD for making it home safe, and I Pray for the
fallen police officers, the wounded, and their families.
