Compassion and Love
Both Rosalynd and Jason see their exchange as a lesson of unconditional love for a stranger, whoever they may be, and whatever they look like. Jason said, “We have to think about being better Americans, we have to look into ourselves and how we treat one another,” he said. “If everyone did a little something to show respect… we can love one another.” At the end of the heartfelt FaceTime call, Rosalynd sent a virtual hug to Jason, and he responded by blowing a virtual kiss.
Reconnecting
Rosalynd reached out to Jason after seeing him on the news a few weeks later and they reconnected. They talked about their political differences and how they could still have a friendship despite their disagreements.
