Lindsey clung to her faith and prayed God would do the impossible. In the meantime‚ she focused on creating as many memories as possible with her daughters and her husband‚ Spencer. Lindsey’s primary goal was not just to survive but to thrive‚ making lasting memories with her loved ones. “I was taking in every second‚ trying to soak up everything‚” Lindsey said. “I made a scrapbook‚ I wrote letters to my kids‚ I made videos‚ everything. I was trying to do everything I could.” Chemo‚ a formidable foe in itself‚ claimed Lindsey’s hair‚ but it never touched her spirit‚ and her unwavering faith in God was her ultimate healer.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s home was the target of a swatting incident on Christmas day. The Boston Police Department were called to respond to a shooting and hostage situation at Wu’s Roslindale residence around 5:30 p.m. on Monday. “A man told officials that he shot his wife at an address in Roslindale‚ and that she was tied up‚ along with a man‚ in the house‚” WBUR reports. Police officers realized it was the mayor’s house‚ and the emergency call was fake. Wu said it was shocking to open the door to so many ‘flashing lights.’ “For better or worse‚ my family are a bit used to it by now‚ and we have a good system with the department‚” Wu told WBUR.

Wu has been under fire after it was revealed she was the host of an “Electeds of Color Holiday Party‚” earlier this month. A staffer inside city hall accidentally sent the party invitation to all city councilors instead of just the non-white members. The Boston City Council is comprised of six minority and seven white members. “I did send that to everyone by accident‚ and I apologize if my email may have offended or came across as so‚” Denise DosSantos‚ director of City Council relations wrote in a follow-up message fifteen minutes after the errant email. “Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.” Wu defended the party hours before the elected officials were set to gather‚ saying it had become a yearly tradition for the “diverse” group to celebrate the holidays together and each person takes turns hosting. Multiple congressional Republicans and conservative figures were swatted on or around Christmas. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY) were swatted on Christmas day.
