President Trump told reporters, “I’ve studied assassinations, and I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the most ... they’re the ones that they go after,” after the latest attempt on his life at the White House correspondents’ dinner last weekend. “And I hate to say I’m honored by that, but I’ve done a lot.”
DEAR HARRIETTE: My sister just announced she is having twins. Growing up, I was always close to my siblings, although we are all different ages. There have been times when they were there when I needed them and vice versa. As we approach parenthood age, I want to ensure that love is passed down to our younger generations. I plan on being as present an uncle as I can be, but I live in New York and my sister recently moved to Florida. I will be spending the two weeks surrounding her expected labor date there, but I’m struggling to figure out how to build and maintain a long-distance relationship with babies. My mom lives in Florida, too, so I know my sister will be supported once I leave. How can I be in my sister’s support system from so far away? – Long-Distance Uncle DEAR LONG-DISTANCE UNCLE: You have the right intentions, which is wonderful. First, check with your sister to see if the time leading up to the birth is when she needs you most. Especially if your mother is also there, your sister may need your help more a few weeks after the twins are born when the real juggling begins.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I am a senior in college, and I’m graduating soon.

The recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump set off a round of soul-searching about the state of American society. There is clearly something deeply wrong in a nation that has seen the third serious attempt on a president’s life in less than two years.
