I hope with effective action to combat this climate change will we have a better world in the future.

I will never give up on you, on humanity, on the future.

I wish for you both that another kind of life has been discovered, one of peace, moderation and concern for all life.

Right now I want to be hopeful. Right now I want to think that we took action to ensure this beautiful future for you.

Sometimes I think we will never make it, but I know we must keep trying.

will continue championing land preservation and the restoration of woodland, prairie and wetland habitats. I will not stop advocating for “bird friendly” legislation to make cities safer for your passage.

My mistake was thinking I needed to give you more to be a good Mom. Recently your aunt asked me what my favorite toy was growing up. I gulped, I didn’t have one- it was the outdoors, sliding down a ravine of leaves with my Dad, skiing and camping. Today is October 12th, 2021 and I am still going to be giving you a lot, it’s going to look a little different – love, experiences, education and a healthy planet.

We’re moving into uncertain times, and your dad and I worry. A lot. But you’re keeping us going. You’re pushing us to make better choices and not give up.
