• The victim of the shooting at Donald Trump's Pennsylvania campaign rally is Corey Comperatore. 
• Comperatore's family members paid tribute to him with social media posts on Sunday.
• His sister said Comperatore shielded his daughters from gunfire.

The victim of the shooting at former President Donald Trump's Pennsylvania rally has been identified as a loving father and husband who protected his family from gunfire.

Corey Comperatore, 50, was killed while he shielded his wife and daughters, his family said, calling "this terrible nightmare … our painful reality."

"The PA Trump Rally claimed the life of my brother, Corey Comperatore. The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most. He was a hero that shielded his daughters. His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable," Dawn Comperatore Schafer posted on Facebook. "My baby brother just turned 50 and had so much life left to experience. Hatred has no limits and love has no bounds."

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said he ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in memory of Comperatore, whose wife called him a "girl dad" in a conversation with the governor.

"Corey went to church every Sunday. Corey loved his community and most especially, Corey loved his family. Corey was an avid supporter of the former president and was so excited to be there last night with him in the community," Shapiro said at a press conference. "Corey dove on his family to protect them last night at this rally. Corey was the very best of us. May his memory be a blessing."

Comperatore was the former chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Photos and videos showed the disturbing moment that gunfire erupted during the Butler, Pennslyvania, rally as Trump addressed his audience.

The FBI identified a 20-year-old from nearby Bethel Park as the shooting suspect. The suspect was killed by the Secret Service.

Trump later said he was shot in his right ear, and two other rallygoers were critically injured. The FBI is investigating the incident as an assassination attempt.

• Mike Johnson denounced the tenor of political rhetoric in the US following the Trump rally shooting.
• "We've got to turn the temperature down in this country," the speaker said Sunday on NBC's "Today."
• Johnson described the assassination attempt of Trump as "a horrific act of political violence."

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday strongly condemned the shooting at former President Donald Trump's Pennsylvania rally Saturday evening, decrying the "horrific" violence that occurred while also urging political leaders to "turn the rhetoric down."

During an interview on NBC's "Today," the Louisiana Republican lamented what he described as a "surreal" experience for Americans as one of the country's major-party presidential candidates just hours earlier was targeted in an assassination attempt.

"This is a horrific act of political violence. It ought to be roundly condemned," he said. "Obviously, we can't go on like this as a society."

Trump on Saturday was speaking to supporters when gunshots rang out at his rally, and the former president was subsequently swarmed by members of the Secret Service.

The former president emerged from the assassination attempt with a bloodied ear.

Trump in a post on his Truth Social account wrote that a bullet had "pierced the upper part" of his right ear and thanked the agents who came to his aid during the incident.

Johnson, a political ally of Trump, said hours after the shooting that the House would hold a "full investigation" into the events surrounding Saturday's shooting. The lawmaker added that officials from the Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security, and FBI would be called to speak before Congress over the incident.

The speaker on Sunday also addressed the deep political divide in the US, which has seemingly grown wider as the expected general election rematch between President Joe Biden and Trump quickly approaches.

"We've got to turn the rhetoric down," Johnson said. "We've got to turn the temperature down in this country."

"We need leaders of all parties, on both sides, to call that out and make sure that happens so that we can go forward and maintain our free society that we all are blessed to have," he added.

President Joe Biden on Saturday strongly denounced the shooting and later that night spoke with Trump.

"There's no place in America for this kind of violence," the president said. "It's sick. It's sick. It's one of the reasons we have to unite this country. We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this."

In the 2020 election, a major goal in Biden's platform was to unify the country, especially after the tough campaign that year.

But after the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, a 2022 midterm cycle which saw both Democrats and Republicans tussle over the issue of defending democracy, and an already tumultuous 2024 presidential campaign, divisions within the US remain raw.

• Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art seemingly hung fake Pablo Picasso paintings in an exhibition.
• Kirsha Kaechele, the museum's curator, said she made the paintings herself.
• Reactions to the stunt have been mixed, with some labeling it "brilliant" and others saying she had taken "people for fools."

An art museum in Australia that was embroiled in a gender dispute involving several "Picasso" paintings has admitted that the works were fake.

The paintings had been at the center of a gender battle that broke out after a man from the Australian state of New South Wales took legal action against the gallery after being refused entry to the museum's "Ladies Lounge" exhibition.

Kirsha Kaechele, the museum's curator, previously told Guardian Australia that the men's "experience of rejection is the artwork" and that she was "absolutely delighted" that the case had gone to court.

The exhibition contained some of the museum's most notable artworks, including some said to have been produced by the Spanish Cubist Pablo Picasso.

After a court ruled that the exhibition violated the state's Anti-Discrimination Act and that "persons who do not identify as ladies" must be allowed entry, Kaechele made headlines after she moved several of the supposed Picassos, which had hung in the exhibition for more than three years, to a female toilet cubicle.

But in a blog post on the museum's website on Wednesday, Kaechele said that the works, which included a copy of "Luncheon on the Grass, After Manet," had, in fact, been painted by herself.

"I knew of a number of Picasso paintings I could borrow from friends, but none of them were green and I wished for the Lounge to be monochrome. I also had time working against me, not to mention the cost of insuring a Picasso—exorbitant!" Kaechele wrote.

She then said she eventually decided to make the paintings with her "own hands and the (perfectly shellacked) hands of my manicurist's niece, who is far more competent in pen and ink and thus assisted with the etching."

Comments below the blog post show mixed reactions, with some labeling the stunt "brilliant and brave" while others said she was "trying to take people for fools."

Art expert Christopher Heathcote told the Guardian that he thought "the entire episode is childish, unprofessional, and reflects poorly on Mona."

"What is being passed off as an art activist statement is the standard excuse used for attention-seeking sensationalism," Heathcote added.

The forgery prompted a reevaluation of other works displayed in the Ladies Lounge, and Kaechele revealed that some other items were also not genuine.

Kaechele admitted that a "mink rug" supposedly made by "Princess Mary's royal furrier" was actually made of low-grade polyester, and some pieces of "precious" jewelry were made of plastic.

Kaechele signed off her blog post by apologizing to the Picasso Administration.

Business Insider contacted Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art for comment.

It's not the first time that the Australian art world has made headlines this year.

Reports emerged in May that Australia's richest woman had made multiple approaches to the country's national gallery to try to get an unflattering portrait of her taken down.

Gina Rinehart's attempts to remove the painting, which was made by renowned Indigenous artist Vincent Namatjira, backfired spectacularly, with news outlets around the world picking up the story and sharing images of the work.

• A Trump authorized GoFundMe for victims of the Pennsylvania rally shooting has raised more than $1 million.
• On Sunday, Trump's reelection campaign text out a link to the fundraiser.
• Musician Kid Rock pledged $50,000 to the drive.

Former President Donald Trump's reelection campaign on Sunday sent out an appeal to an authorized GoFundMe drive that has raised over $1 million for the victims of the shooting at Trump's Pennslyvania rally.

"From Trump: FEAR NOT. It is more important than ever that we stand UNITED," a text to supporters read along with a link to the fundraising drive.

Meredith O'Rourke, Trump's top finance person, is listed as the GoFundMe drive organizer. As of Sunday afternoon, more than $1 million had been pledged. The fundraiser's initial goal was $1 million.

Law enforcement has said that at least one person was killed during the attempted assassination of Trump. Two other people were critically injured, State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens told reporters late Saturday night. All three were adult males. At this time, no further information about the victims, including the deceased, has been released.

Trump spoke in Butler, Pennslyvania, in a final rally before Republicans gathered in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention. After shots rang out, Secret Service agents quickly rushed to the stage to shield the former president. Trump said he was struck by a bullet that grazed his ear.

"Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday morning, referencing how the bullet was inches from hitting him in the head.

Several prominent Trump supporters have donated to the fundraising drive. Musician Kid Rock donated $50,000, and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy donated $30,000.

A request for comment sent to Trump campaign representatives was not immediately returned.

• Police found explosives in Thomas Matthew Crooks' car after he shot at Donald Trump.
• The FBI has identified Crooks, who was killed by Secret Service, as the shooter.
• Authorities searched Crooks's home with a bomb squad and interviewed his family.

Police found explosives inside the vehicle of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man suspected of trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday.

The FBI identified Crooks — who was shot dead by Secret Service agents — at the shooter. Sources familiar with the investigation told The Wall Street Journal that authorities found explosives inside the car that Cooks parked nearly the rally on Saturday.

Police dispatched several bomb technicians in the area after receiving reports of suspicious packages, according to the outlet. Authorities also found an AR-15 style semiautomatic rifle next to Crooks's body, according to The New York Times.

"Dozens" of law enforcement vehicles surrounded Crooks's residence in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania on Saturday night following the shooting, according to USA Today. Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and a bomb squad were at the house, according to the report.

Police searched the residence "well into the night" to clear it and secure the area and conducted interviews with Crooks's family at the home, WSJ reported.

Crooks' neighbor, Dan Maloney, told USA Today that "it's insanity that anyone would do this," adding that he at one point had planned to attend the rally.

The FBI did not immediately return Business Insider's request for comment regarding the explosives found in Crooks's vehicle

• Melania Trump called the Trump rally shooter a "monster" who saw her husband as "inhuman."
• The former first lady made the statement on Sunday after the attempted assassination of her husband.
• Authorities have identified the suspected gunman as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Former first lady Melania Trump denounced the assassination attempt of her husband at his Pennsylvania rally on Saturday, calling the shooter a "monster" who "sought to ring out Donald's passion."

In a Sunday statement, the former first lady issued a call for unity as she thanked the Secret Service agents who rushed to her husband's aid as he spoke to his supporters. In her remarks, she focused intently on the effects of the shooting on her family.

"When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron's life, were on the brink of devastating change," she said.

And she addressed the suspected shooter, whom authorities identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks and who was killed on Saturday, as a "monster."

"A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald's passion — his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration," she said. "The core facts of my husband's life — his human side — were buried below the political machine."

The former first lady in her statement also urged Americans to come together regardless of their political orientation.

"Let us remember that when the time comes to look beyond the left and the right, beyond the red and the blue, we all come from families with the passion to fight for a better life together, while we are here, in this earthly realm," she said.

Trump was speaking to his supporters on Saturday when gunshots rang out at the Pennsylvania event, and the former president was swarmed by members of the Secret Service. Photos from the Trump rally showed Trump with a bloodied ear as he emerged from the assassination attempt.

Trump in a Truth Social post wrote that a bullet had "pierced the upper part" of his right ear and thanked the agents who came to his aid during the incident.

Melania Trump has not been as active on the campaign trail this year as she was in 2016, but she has been a firm supporter of her husband's reelection bid.

• Ukrainian soldiers are forced to set aside grief on the battlefield, says psychiatrist Yulia Brockdorf.
• Brockdorf visits Ukraine to provide counseling and aid. The war continues taking a mental toll on soldiers.
• Prolonged service, PTSD, and lack of consistent aid exacerbate soldiers' mental health issues.

Ukrainian soldiers who have long been fighting on the front lines, facing the horrors of combat, are being forced to set aside their grief on the battlefield, said visiting psychiatrist Yulia Brockdorf.

"It layers on, these losses, these injuries, the ungrieved pain," Brockdorf told Business Insider.

The healthy processing of emotions and grief are pushed aside for the mission at hand, defending the nation from a relentless foe. "You need to set it aside because you need to focus and do your job because if you don't do your job, you will encounter more losses," she said, explaining how many Ukrainian soldiers she's worked with view their situation.

Brockdorf has made several visits to Ukraine since the Russians launched their full-scale invasion in February 2022 to provide counseling services and medical equipment to soldiers, as she is also the co-founder of DAWN, a nonprofit organization that has been supporting Ukraine. Her last visit was in March of this year.

'We just kind of go and do our thing'

Oftentimes, Brockdorf encountered seemingly desensitized attitudes toward death among soldiers defending Ukraine. "So frequently, it comes down to 'it's war, it happens,'" she said.

When grief can't be processed right away, it builds and becomes harder to deconstruct later on, Brockdorf said. Some soldiers are able to walk away from the war without trauma from witnessing losses, but others may experience post-traumatic stress disorder, which varies in severity.

A foreign volunteer helping defend Ukraine, speaking from their own experiences, said that losses in this war, the largest land war in Europe since World War II and a truly catastrophic human tragedy in terms of combat losses, are unavoidable and difficult to process when they happen.

"You lose people pretty much almost every week, not necessarily always from your company, but also from like neighboring companies, just people that you know," they told Business Insider. "In the grand scheme of things, our optempo is, I guess, quite high, so you don't really have the time to mourn people anyway, so we just kind of go and do our thing."

'A lot of anger inside me'

Dr. Vladislav Matrenitsky, a Kyiv-based psychotherapist, author, and founder of the Center for Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Psychedelic Medicine Expio, has worked with Ukrainian veterans and observed that some patients who experience PTSD have expressed behavior like hyper-vigilance, agitation, and anxiousness.

Many soldiers are left to process the trauma from the battlefield only once they're back home with their families, but this can put their relationships at risk if PTSD sets in and symptoms surface. This issue has long plagued soldiers returning from war.

"The problem is that not many of them understand why this happens, but they think, 'It's okay, it's just stress, and I will be okay with some time, with rest,'" Matrenitsky explained. "One of them told me, 'I have such a lot of anger inside me that in the night I go in the city to look for somebody to fight with.'"

For others, it's not anger, but terror. Some soldiers have reported nightmares and panic attacks. One told The Washington Post previously that he had nightmares of his tank commander who was burned alive while another dreamed of stepping on another mine and losing his other leg.

In addition to the growing number losses on the battlefield, Brockdorf added that the lack of consistent aid being sent to Ukraine also impacts soldiers' mental health. "The access to supplies, medical supplies, being armed, has direct impact on the suffering, experience and confidence and sense of feeling supported," she said.

Despite the trauma of war, troops stay on the line and often don't share their burdens.

Some of Ukraine's soldiers have been serving on the front lines for long stretches as Ukraine grapples with manpower shortages. Brockdorf says this prolonged length of service can also aggravate soldiers' feelings of exhaustion and abandonment.

As Mark Hertling, a former US Army general noted earlier this year in a discussion with CNN, staying on the battlefield for two and a half years "just takes an incredible account of fatigue, psychological damage, and the toughness of being in the trenches in the front lines will really be a morale factor."

And, indeed, that damage can be lasting, which is why Brockdorf says it's important to be there for Ukrainian soldiers.

"I think that's very important for Ukrainian defenders to know: that they are not forgotten," Brockdorf said. "When you live long enough and you only see around you bullets, drones, and dirt in those trenches, it's hard to know that somebody out there really remembers and really fights for you."

• Former US President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.
• The gunman was on an elevated surface around 450 feet away from his target.
• The Secret Service has been criticized for failing to prevent the incident.

The gunman who shot at Donald Trump was only about 450 feet (roughly 137 meters) away from the former US president, satellite imagery shows.

Trump was speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday when gunshots rang out, and he was swarmed by Secret Service agents.

The former president emerged from the incident with a bloodied ear as the agents ushered him away.

The FBI has since identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, PA, as the shooter.

Crooks "fired multiple shots toward the stage from an elevated position," according to a statement shared by Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi.

The Associated Press geolocated a video on social media showing a man in gray camouflage lying motionless on the roof of a manufacturing plant just north of where the rally took place.

The shooter could have reasonably struck Trump from that distance.

US Army recruits are trained to hit human-sized targets 150 meters away with an M-16 rifle, the AP reported. The AR-15, which the shooter reportedly used, is the civilian version of the military-grade M-16, per the report.

Members of Trump's Secret Service stood around 440 feet (or about 134 meters) away from Crook, per the satellite images.

When asked whether law enforcement was unaware of the shooter's presence until shots were fired, Kevin Rojek, an FBI Special Agent, said: "That is our assessment at this time."

Matt Shoemaker, a former intelligence officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency, called the incident a "major failure" of the Secret Service.

"I've been to these sorts of events before, and there are layers upon layers of security," Shoemaker said. "So for the alleged shooter to be on a rooftop, with a clear shot to the podium — it is mind-boggling to say that this was overlooked."

Tim McCarthy, who in 1981 defended then-President Ronald Reagan from a gunman, agreed that the incident represented a failure by the service.

"Any time a protectee is harmed, there's something that has to change," McCarthy told Chicago-based outlet WGN-TV. "You have to critically look at what happened, why it happened, and how it can be prevented in the future."

• A failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump on Saturday left him with a bleeding ear.
• Former Secret Service agent Tim McCarthy compared the incident to the 1981 Reagan shooting.
• McCarthy said the Secret Service had failed to protect Trump despite its best efforts.

A former Secret Service agent said that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump represented a "failure" for his security team.

Tim McCarthy, who in 1981 defended then-President Ronald Reagan from a gunman, was giving his assessment of the Saturday shooting to Chicago-based outlet WGN-TV.

"It's a failure. Plain and simple," McCarthy said. "When President Regan was shot, that was a failure too."

"Any time a protectee is harmed, there's something that has to change," he added. "You have to critically look at what happened, why it happened, and how it can be prevented in the future."

Despite this, he said the service had been doing "almost everything that is humanly possible" to prevent potential attacks, but that there "is no full-proof security anywhere in this world."

Trump had been speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania when the shooting took place. He was seen defiantly raising his fist with a bloodied ear before being ushered away from the scene by the Secret Service.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that a bullet had "pierced the upper part" of his right ear.

The FBI has since identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was killed at the rally.

McCarthy, who reportedly retired from the Secret Service in 1993, said he did not have intimate details of Trump's security detail, but said it was likely "darn close" to what President Joe Biden receives.

He said that for a president, security teams sweep the area and secure the building while obscuring the view using "different types of shielding" such as campaign events or banners. They would also rearrange the podium to block views from outside the secured area.

"Now, in some cases, it's almost impossible to do that, but that's why the Secret Service has counter-sniper teams. You survey the buildings that would have an overview of where the protectee is going to be," he added.

In this instance, he said any counter-sniper team "obviously or possibly" did not see the shooter.

As a last resort, agents shield the protectee from attack.

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement that the "DHS and the Secret Service are working with law enforcement partners to respond to and investigate the shooting."

"We are engaged with President Biden, former President Trump, and their campaigns, and are taking every possible measure to ensure their safety and security."

Whilst the assassination attempt may result in "less visibility out in the public for former president Trump," McCarthy doubted that the assassination attempt would deter him too much from his scheduled outings.

The Secret Service is "probably gonna have to hold his horses to keep him from getting out into the public right away," he said.

And Trump has already signaled his intentions to make his next public appearance.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump thanked people for their "thoughts and prayers" following the attack, and said that he was looking forward "to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin," where the Republican National Convention is set to take place.

• Grace Ryu helped her 60-year-old dad get a job at her workplace when he retired as a business owner.
• Ryu vouched for her dad and sat with him during his Zoom job interview to translate.  
• It's the first time her dad ever received health insurance through an employer and a 401(k).

My dad owned a wide variety of businesses. We grew up in Maryland, where he ran a mini-mart in downtown Baltimore. Many Koreans owned liquor stores and mini-marts back in the 1990s, and when my dad talks about that business, he says those were the good days when he made a lot of money.

He worked every day from Sunday through Saturday and only took time off for one weekend in the summer when we went on a family trip to Ocean City. He even worked every holiday.

Because he worked a lot, I don't have too many childhood memories with him. But I do remember that every night after work, he'd go into his room, take out all the money he earned that day, and count it all before dinner time. I thought, "Wow, my dad is so rich."

My mom told me that he works hard so that he can take care of our whole family, which includes our grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Of course, I didn't understand the kind of burden that was at the time — I was only 6 years old — but I just knew whatever my dad was doing was super important.

My dad owned many businesses

My dad moved us from Baltimore to California for better business opportunities in 2001, when I was 9 years old, but it was harder out here than it was in Maryland. He owned a dry cleaning business for a few years, but that was more of a struggle than owning a mini-mart, with more work and less revenue.

He eventually moved on to owning a small deli shop with the help of his brother. He did this, alongside my mom, for 16 years. My dad worked the grill and made the hot dishes while my mom took customer orders and packed the food.

In 2021, a little after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, their lease was coming to an end. They had two options: either renew it for another five years or sell the business and find something else to do.

My parents chose to sell because I was pregnant, and they wanted to be close to their future grandkids.

I vouched for my dad at my job

My dad told me that he still wanted to work after he sold the lease. He wasn't ready to retire — mostly for financial reasons.

He talked about working with my cousin in a dental lab or doing transportation for the elderly, but those jobs either required him to learn a whole new skill or get some type of license. He's been in the food industry for the last 16 years, and while my dad is sharp for a 60-year-old, I didn't think a big career pivot was the right move for him.

That's when I thought he could get a job working in the kitchen at the hospital where I worked. I talked to the manager of food services at my hospital and asked if they'd give my dad a job in the kitchen. I vouched for my dad and explained to the manager the different skill sets he picked up from owning all his businesses.

Whatever I said worked because my dad landed the job. He had a formal Zoom interview, which I attended to help with any translation. We were thrilled — the job came with benefits, so for the first time, my dad was receiving health insurance through an employer and signing up for a 401(k).

At first, helping my dad at work was challenging

As ecstatic as we were about him getting this job, going through the onboarding was a beast. He's lived in America for 36 years, yet his English was barely at an elementary reading level. This was mostly because my mom took on most of the administrative work when it came to the business. She was the one who talked to the customers, vendors, and inspectors while my dad hid in the back, cleaning and doing whatever else my mom needed him to do.

A big part of me was relieved I'd be close by to help him if he had any questions since I knew the hospital and how it worked. I knew helping my dad navigate through the hospital's system wouldn't be a problem, but being the middleman between him and others was difficult.

The language barrier was one thing, but the other challenge was his unfamiliarity with modern technology — he has never owned or used a computer in his life and struggles to even use his smartphone.

I had to fill out all of his onboarding paperwork since it was all online, and he couldn't be placed on some of the easier jobs, like taking orders for patients or administrative work. He was placed in the kitchen, where he plates patients' trays for mealtimes and does the dishes.

He wanted to quit after a few days

Working at the hospital was the first time my dad had a boss other than himself, and I think he might've felt looked down on because of it. Many traditional Korean men pride themselves on owning their own businesses and making a lot of money.

The first few days of work were the hardest for my dad, so hard that he wanted to quit. The language barrier, the cultural differences, and the technological illiteracy all became too much for him to handle.

I never pressured him to stay because I knew this job would be challenging for him. I told him I'd support him if he decided to quit, but my hope was that he would stay so that I could help him out with whatever problems came his way since we were in the same building.

It took him two months to feel comfortable at his job, and he absolutely loves it now. In fact, he loves work so much that he picks up extra shifts. He's learned more English so he can voice his concerns and ask questions to his supervisor, and he's always so excited to introduce me to his coworkers even though he's already introduced them to me before.

I love working with my dad

When I have a shift on the same day as my dad, I like to visit him in the kitchen. One day, on my way out, I looked back and saw my dad doing the dishes — and I wanted to cry. He was all wet, and seeing him do such a hard and thankless job broke my heart. The only reason I knew my dad was OK was because of how he looks as he works: he's always smiling with so much enthusiasm and joy.

In the 30 years I've seen him work, his demeanor and work ethic have never changed. Whether stocking groceries, ironing clothes in 100-degree weather, or making a big order of 100 breakfast burritos at 4 a.m., he never complains. He's taught me to do all things with joy, especially in my workplace.

I love the days I get to take breaks with my dad. We sit in the cafeteria and talk about how work is going, if there are things he needs me to do, or our family dinner plans. Ever since my dad started working with me, I've documented our time together. I always want to film myself watching him at work.

People in the hospital probably think I'm crazy for taking selfies with my dad and filming myself saying hi to him, but honestly, I don't care because I'm so insanely proud of him. He's my role model and the most hardworking and happiest person I know. I love working with my dad.
