Sadé's POV:

— November 18th, 2022, Detroit

Today was a busy day for Marshall and I already. This morning we had to get up early for our flight back to Detroit, Michigan at 7AM Chicago time. We had arrived back in Detroit at 9:30AM due to the time zone change; On top of that, because it was the fall season we lost an hour of sleep. So I was a little bit crabby, but not for long because once I had gotten some fruit in my body from when we were on the jet I turned into an angel again. Food is the way to my heart so that was a no brainer.

Additionally, I was giving Marshall the silent treatment today. It's not like I was doing it on purpose just to be mean because I would never be mean to him, but I just couldn't bring myself to talk to him right now. I was still feeling upset about the whole thing, and was simply embarrassed. I hate when I show people my emotional side or when I cry in front of them. Even though I'm really comfortable around Marshall now, and he's comfortable around me, I still don't like to be vulnerable. It makes me feel weak even though I know it's okay because it's a simple human emotion. I wasn't necessarily feeling that hurt anymore surprisingly, but I just wasn't in the mood today. I don't know, I couldn't describe it. So yea, I wasn't too vocal with Marshall today.

I didn't have time to truly reflect on how I felt though because I didn't have the time too today. I had a busy schedule with work, charity donations, and appearances for said charities. So I had to keep myself in the right mindset for that, and put my best smile on. Hopefully, work would make me feel more upbeat, which I knew it would because it always does.

— At The Detroit Hospital

I was currently working with a hospital in Detroit that I frequently visit for charity work. I come here about three times a year just for this reason way before I even met Hailie & Marshall, and started spending more of my free time here. I was making the wishes of some of this kids that had requested to meet me come true for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

This foundation was very near and dear to my heart because I once participated in it when I was as going through my own cancer treatments as a child so I know what it's like. The fact that these children, some of them, may not be able to grow into their adult life really did break my heart, and I just wanted to help make them as happy as possible during this difficult time. Even if they did have the opportunity to grow into their adult life, they were still going through it so I always wanted to help whenever I could. I always dedicated my time to talking to them, taking pictures, donating, and just trying to sprinkle a little bit of happiness to their lives while they're still on this earth. So that's what I was going to do.

I was also scheduled to do one in Chicago next week, and I had already done one in LA the last time I was there. Doing things like this, making other people happy, truly is what makes my heart full. It makes me happy. Seeing the smiles, the laughter, and joy makes me feel good because when other people are great, I'm great. This was never too much to ask of me, and I always had time in my schedule for it. I never say no to things like this and never will. I'd drop anything to be able to help children even in the slightest.

Speaking of which, since I was working with children today, I needed to dress accordingly & appropriately. I was wearing a 90s-esque style shirt that I knew the children would love, black flare jeans, black heeled boots, and a black Louis Vuitton purse. My hair was straightened, hanging loosely, and my makeup was natural. I paired it with a black leather jacket like the purse to shield me from the cold, my Van Cleef Aprel bracelet stack, and a Cartier bracelet. Everything was minimalist, appropriate, and cute.
