I can't forgive the people who won't admit my partner, Brian Sicknick, was a hero
CNN
Sandra Garza met Sicknick in 2008, bonded over blueberry pancakes, past military experience and a passion for helping others. His death, after defending the Capitol Jan. 6, left her drowning in grief, she writes, but it turned to rage when she watched Senators refuse to appoint a commision to investigate, then lie over and over again on TV, denying the "monstrous acts" committed by pro-Trump protesters.
When we finally were ready to meet for our first date, he made an odd request. Meet for breakfast? I came to learn that breakfast was his favorite meal of the day, particularly blueberry pancakes. Brian was very quiet, shy almost, and had an innocence about him that was incredibly endearing. We bonded over our love of animals, our military experience, and our passion for helping others -- he as an officer, me as a clinical social worker.More Related News
