I am working every second of my life, with every ounce of my being, to ensure that I am leaving you and your brother a planet that is safe and secure.

I think a lot about where the right place to live is.

All you can do is your best. You can encourage the same in others. You can admit your mistakes and those of your ancestors. You can learn from them, and help however you can. I’ll do the same. I promise.

My hope for you is that all our legislative efforts and care for the environment makes a difference so that we can wipe asthma out of our family.

It’s not enough to just recycle. I will sign petitions and call my local representatives. I will also engage in conversations about climate change – even with people with whom I don’t see eye-to-eye.

Hope we get to have that snowball fight I always dreamed we’d have.

I want you to see those corn fields in the north, the beautiful beaches down in Florida, and the stars in the woods at night.

I know that the 2019 version of me (today that is) wished and hoped for that I did all within my power to turn the world around without loosing sight on the beauty of being alive.
