Thanks so much for your heartfelt words! Luckily, he's still a junior in high school. My hope being that in another year, the entire covidian cult will have crumbled, and the midterms will yield a political shift in my state. I just want all mandates to be revoked permanently, and legislation like Florida's be signed to that we NEVER have to deal with this again. I do hold hope but I'm keeping it to myself. My m.o. is to bring joy and love to my kids' lives, so they know that we don't buy the msm hysteria. We are at war, and as long as we're all healthy, the rest of our goals can be put on hold for a little while. Right?

Keep hoping. Keep smiling, even through the tears and heartache. Keep your eyes fixed on love, even when it's impossible to feel love. Paint good landscapes for your kids so that they don't grow up feeling like the world is hopeless. Control what you can control, in your little circle, even though it might seem like it's a drop in the bucket. That's YOUR fight right now.

Those kids of yours, they're your mission. Remind them they're fierce, unique, humble, proud, compassionate, and capable of amazing things. Your job is to pile as much kindling around their hearts as possible, kindling that will create an enduring, blazing fire for the rest of us to see, and trust that when the time comes, that kindling WILL be lit up.

That's how I'm approaching my duties as a parent. I'm being real with my kids while doing my best to fortify their character and keep them from falling into despair. It's a fine line to walk, but walk it we must. They are our most valuable resource and mission #1. There are a lot of battles to fight now and in the future, and those battles are part of the larger war, but mission priority, in these years that we have them, are the kiddos.

ABSOLUTELY!! Every day that goes by with them by my side - healthy and vax-free - and with my husband's support is a big WIN. I am grateful to be surrounded (virtually) by people like you. You are 100% correct. Plus, the world will thank us one day for saving our God-given genetic pool. :D
