This morning, I would like to ask for prayers. My daughter Jamison, lost a good friend today to Coronavirus. His name was Steve Raphael. Jamison is the admin for a virtual prayer group, and asked for prayers for Steve and his family. Steve always watched over Jami and made sure that she was taking care of herself….He started a new journey today. God Bless him and may he rest in peace.

For the past year… I have been talking about this

Goldie Hawn: COVID trauma is hurting a generation of kids. We’ve failed them as a nation.

We will survive the COVID pandemic, but I’m not sure we can survive an entire generation whose collective trauma sends them hobbling into adulthood.

Thank you Goldie Hawn. How wonderful is it that you have brought this problem to a international stage. The young people in our lives need to know that even though life is different, there are adults in their lives who support them and will do anything to help make these strange days doable.

How will kids remember these days? Have they lost a parent or grandparent? Will they remember someone close suffering with COVID? We have lost so many.

If you have a young person in your life…connect. Be patient, honest and kind. Get them help if they need it…and above all, LOVE them.

I am going to close now and write a letter to my granddaughter…..

Love you. Me
