Max, there is so much I feel like you will never get to experience and I am writing this letter in hope that when you read it you are able to laugh at it because you have in fact done all the things I want to do (me now). There are so many things that I don’t know I will be able to do like visit where dad grew up in Africa because the water is too poor quality to drink, but my hope is that “us”, the people, we can fix these problems. Good luck homie <3
To my precious children,
As you’ve grown older, I’ve become increasingly aware that protecting you means more than ensuring your short-term safety. It also means ensuring that you’ll have a safe planet to live on.
To My Daughter and Future Grandchildren,
There are so many more things that we can do together to help our Earth from the damage that has been done, and I am so excited to teach you.
Dear Nephew,
I am going to start doing better to have a healthier planet for you to live on.
To My Future Child(ren),
The fact that you are reading this means that you would know the answer to a question that has kept me up at night more often than I would like to admit: Did I make you proud?
Dear Child,
Hope we get to have that snowball fight I always dreamed we’d have.
Dear Josh, LeeAnn, & Jessica,
I am very proud to know that You will treat Our Earth, Our Natural Gift, Our Playful Backyard with the same Awesome Respect that We give to each other, as a Family – Knowing that Our Earth, is Your Child Now.
I pledge to use less plastic!
Dear future niece or nephew,
We loved hiking, camping, biking, swimming and playing as kids together.
Dear Future Grandchild,
We can learn a lot about how to treat others from stories that have been passed from generation to generation.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will do whatever I can to protect and preserve mother Earth for future generations.
Dear Tomorrow,
I feel optimistic for you, tomorrow. I can feel a shift happening already.
Dear Children,
I wish I had a crystal ball and could peep into it to see you all happy and safe in a world that nourishes you and that is also nourished by you, a world where the resources it provides are as valued as the people in it and not frittered away by greed and power.
