Sitting in her bedroom, watching her favorite slime video, is my eight year old little girl. From the moment she came into my life, I have promised to be her guidance and protection. The entire world is a new adventure for her.
This moment in our lives can’t be more difficult than for the parents of our world. The parent’s whose children lay their head in comfort and look at like they can make magic happen.
Our children have since the beginning of time been the meaning of hope and second chances.
From the data, many of our children will survive this illness. We however, do not have data to tell us if they will survive this disruption in their innocence.
Without trying, our days become consumed with this virus. Conversations in front of our children about hard details become harder and harder to avoid. They see the worry written on our faces. They have been told there is no school, no play dates, and no restaurants. Of course they feel this.
I feel for the parents because right now, more than ever we must put our badge on and wear it with a smile. We were chosen to lead by our creator. We were chosen to guide this being into the light.
There is so much to still be thankful for, there is so much to still strive for. Look in your child’s eyes and lead them to embrace the light. We are all still blessed to be alive and even more blessed to have created life.
