Cris Charbonneau

Celebrating our four year kidney transplant anniversary. Lauryn is thriving. Forever grateful @mcharb for giving her a second chance at life. 💚#donatelife Watch her story: unckidneycenter.org/2018/04/lauryn… Thank you @Dr_KeishaGibson @UNCKidney @UNC_Health_Care

@nckhui Oh Keung. My heart just hurts for you. She has such a nice, kind smile. Thinking about you and hope on your many walks that you find glimpses of both your sister and your mom in the beautiful things around you.

I lost my big sister. It was totally unexpected. She did more to help her students & fellow educators as a teacher & assistant principal than most people will ever do. Never take for granted the time you have with your family. I look forward to seeing her & mom again in heaven.

@nckhui Oh Keung. She looks so gentle and kind. I’m so glad you got to spend time with her recently. I hope memories of her can bring you comfort. Sending love.

The best mom ever is now in Heaven. The timing was unexpected. I’m grateful I spent time with her recently and told her I loved her.

@PrincipalNinja Yasss! Congrats Ian! ♥️♥️♥️

@TASullivan Ha. Miss you too. 😆

Strength in the Pack ❤️🐺 #GoPack #myhorizon

@DanGerlach5 Oh I am so saddened to hear Jim passed. He was such a good mentor to me and champion of so many others.

Today, I mourn the loss of Jim Fain, a great friend and the standard by which NC Secretaries of Commerce will ever be judged. The JDIG program, still the workhorse of NC econ dev, was his creation. His use of performance-based incentives remains a national model

I know many of my peers are feeling sandwiched in between caring for their families and caring for their aging parents. I wanted to share my journey and let you know, if you are a caregiver to a loved one, you are not alone. #fidelityassociate #caregivers linkedin.com/pulse/home-alo…

@JEFordNCTOY Dr. Ford is in the house!! Congratulations!

Today, on my 42nd birthday, I successfully defended my dissertation. I am so overcome right now. It took 5 years, but it’s Dr. James E. Ford finally.

@nckhui Well deserved Keung! You are a treasure.

I don’t normally toot my own horn. But why not.

Here we go! ❤️🐺 #GradPack

@jtotheill Pass the plate 😃

Listen I had brownies for lunch because who is going to stop me. #notme

I have a severe allergy to bee stings and certain nuts that require me to carry an Epipen. And yet I haven’t for years because of the cost. Until this year. This was the cost on my old insurance $341.29. The cost on my new insurance? $10. Reform is necessary.

"We need more voices, not less, in the mix in these polarized and politicized times," writes @Mebane_Rash ahead of a new school year. "Continue to help us understand how to connect what's happening in classrooms and community with policy." #nced ednc.org/the-power-of-w…

@TheMikaya @WRAL Oh how I will miss you. Can’t wait to hear your next steps. Congratulations!

🚨PERSONAL NEWS🚨 After 7 amazing years at @WRAL, my last day on-air is August 12th. I’ll share what’s next very soon! For now, I simply want to thank my WRAL family & YOU. The climb from reporter to weekend anchor & weekday anchor was beyond my wildest dreams. More to come!

@EmilyLiebtag @kalebrashad Love your love ❤️

In two weeks, on 8.4, WE ARE GETTING MARRIED! We’ve been on so many adventures and know there are many more to come. We are feeling all the feels. #lovingday #liebtagrashad

I’m in our nation’s capital today. ‘Equal Justice Under Law.’ The irony. #RoeVWade

Spent the afternoon at Independence Hall, Liberty Bell and joining in on #Juneteenth events in this city of brotherly love. Lots of conversations with kiddos about what freedom means and what we can do for it to be more inclusive of everyone.

#Juneteenth offers an opportunity to recognize an important milestone in America’s history. But we still have work to do to create a financial services system that is inclusive of everyone. #FinancialFreedom linkedin.com/pulse/juneteen…

EOGs can be something to look forward to every year. At least at our house they do… This year’s love notes. You’ve got this! ❤️ #wcpss #tradition

None of those answers saved lives yesterday.

This morning, Emily asked: “Dad, what do I do if this happens at my school?” Every adult should have to answer that question of a teary eyed child. And please, do not say more drills, more security gates and cameras, arming teachers. That is not the answer.

I can’t reconcile 3500 mass shootings since Sandy Hook. THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED MASS SHOOTINGS. I’m allowing myself to feel the pain that families are feeling. I don’t want this to be normalized. We are so desensitized from what is murder. 🧵 #GunControlNow
