"From the very first texts, I called her 'mitȟáŋkala,' which means 'little sister.' And in her language, she calls me 'big sister,'"Jordan says."And I told her to call me or text me anytime — it didn't matter day or night. If she needs someone to talk about this with, I could help her. If she needed someone to vent to after her races, that I was there for her.
"But it was my first time not running for myself," Rosalie says."And everybody kept asking me, you know, 'How does it feel to be a state champion? How does it feel to be up there on the podium with this gold medal?' And I kind of just wanted to tell them to leave me alone. "It's not just the fact that it's an epidemic; it's the details of some of the research that I do and finding the names that I want to run for and who I want to run for and dedicate it to. And it's those details of what happened to them that are in my head and, you know, it's creating a very dark environment for me."Embracing The Emotions
