My heart is with ...

Senator Cory Booker posted today (Sept 6, 2017) a statement on Facebook < https://www.facebook.com/corybooker/> that began “My heart is with the people of the Caribbean who are enduring the destructive force of Hurricane Irma right now, and with the people of Florida … .”
When I started reading his opening words I wasn’t sure to which group(s) he might be referring. It got me thinking how many others might be included in a statement beginning “My heart is with.”
  • The victims of Hurricane Harvey
  • The Dreamers under DACA
  • The Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar
  • The victims of flooding in Bangladesh
  • The victims of civil war and terrorism in Syria and Yemen
and surely many others.
