Dear my beloved children,

I am so glad that in 2022 we decided to take your future seriously. I love you so much and watching you as kids really made me sad and worried about how the future would look for you. I, along with other caring adults, decided to act. We did what we could through schools, lobbying government, having tough conversations with resistant family members about our fears and hopes for you. Because you were and are so brilliant and beautiful, you kept us inspired and kept us going — even when things felt tough.
As I head into the twilight years of my life, I can rest knowing you have a beautiful and vibrant world where you can be well, others can be well, the planet is well, and your kids and their kids can have a sustainable and beautiful future.

I would do anything for you. I love you so so much,

Your mame
