My thoughts on today….

I’m tired.
Tired of listening to the news.
Tired of lockdowns.
Tired of lockouts.
Tired of being bashed by media, parents, society.
I’m 49 years old.
I fear for the day the lockdown is in our building.
I fear for the kids.
They already have so many ACES of trauma.
I fear for them.
I fear for my family.
I fear this just gets closer and closer
To our home. Our school. Our city. Our children. Enough.
Adults, be adults. Be parents. Be role models.
So many of us try.
We try hard every day.
It only takes the few to not try.
We need to be better.
We need to help our kids.
We need to change society.
I’ll say it again.
We need to be better.
Our kids need us.
All. Of. Us.
Parents
Older siblings
Teachers
Coaches
Aunts
Uncles
Grandparents.
Kids are watching us.
How do you want to be remembered?
As part of the problem?
Or part of the solution.
Be better.
All of us can be better.
Now.
Today.
Enough.
Is.
Enough.
