Dear sweet wonderful grandchildren,

Hi sweeties, I am writing this to you on April 28th, 2017. Right now you are a speck of stardust dancing in the universe and a dream in your parents’ hearts. I hope that I am able to be present when you decide to join our family and that I have time to watch you grow and learn and discover this magical place we call Earth. It is full of awe and wonder and majesty but it is in a very fragile state right now. Today, as we grapple with the realities of climate change, we find ourselves on the edge of saving or destroying it, but I am working hard to ensure that when you arrive, you will find a healthy, thriving, and lovely planet to explore and enjoy. I hope that I have the chance to hold your hands and walk with you in Adirondack forests, along rocky and sandy beaches, through clear cold streams, and flower filled meadows. We will look for salamanders, find birds, investigate plants, and immerse ourselves in the glories of nature where ever we find them. I know that your parents wish all of this for you too and I know they will be your guides and companions on many adventures. Know that you are loved beyond measure and that all of us are doing everything we can to leave you a beautiful healthy planet!

With much, much love,

Grandma / Mutti / Grams

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Sinchi,

The world is changing and it is happening fast.
 

dear future people (:

I am writing this message to you guys. When I look outside my window today, I see a beautiful world that others and myself call “home sweet home.” The trees glimmering in warm sunlight, the air stirring a cool breeze, and the water flowing down rivers are parts of our home Mother Earth.
 

Dear Madeleine,

First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.
 

dear future children,

As I write this, our world is slowly giving way to climate change.
 

Dear Lincoln,

I wanted to let you know that in 2019 that there were real struggles with the health of our planet.
 

Oh My Lovely Faizan,

I love you my son. You are waking up now. Hopefully tomorrow, more of us will, too.
 

Dear Annalyse and Greyson,

See people can say they care about climate change, but caring is not action.
 

For my most dear and only daughter,

And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through. 
 

Dear residents of Bedminster, Bristol UK,

We hope we did enough
 

Dear Alex and Vivian,

This is my most important work.
 

Dear Yasmine,

I tried to teach you of the importance of being satisfied with what you had within your hands.
 

Dear Future Explorers,

I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?
