To my grandchildren of today & the future,

I am glad that you have finally received this letter from me. Yes this is your nana here and I wanted to send you a letter from years ago back in 2017 so that I can be with you in the future even if it is just by this. I love you so very much and hope that you have a good environment to live in. I promise to do my best in helping that to happen. I have been in conversation with Leonardo DiCaprio today about how I can help with the climate changes  that are effecting the world today and into the future…your future. I have joined the movements to help more in areas of nature and design for a better safer happier world to live in. One thing that I ask of you is for you to promise me that you too will your part in making the world better, and its easy. There are simple things you can do which will have an impact. Recycling, using natural resources instead of ways that will damage the air or earth, plant a tree each year, ride a bike. These are ways that you too can help. Join the foundation and give a little if you can to the great causes that helped to save our world and all in it.

Anyway my darlings, I love you so much and your mammas too. There is no place I would rather be that with you all on a thriving happy planet called earth 😀

MUCH love and cuddles from your Nana Janice xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Llewyn, beloved grandson …

I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.
 

Dear Samuel, Willa, and Ben,

To the core of my being, and only through the power of community, I will honor the voices of the youth who are pleading, “Don’t burn my future.” Samuel, Willa, and Ben, your little voices I know, will join that chorus soon enough.
 

Dear Daughter,

Even when contemplating huge global-historical issues — especially then — it’s important to stay grounded in the present time and place, the specific here and now, and the minute affairs of everyday interpersonal relations.
 

Dear Daughter,

I want you to be prepared for the world that the generations before you are creating for you. I love you Lucienne, and I will not give up. I will push you and teach you not to give up, either, even if others around you do.
 

Dear Earth,

I will keep the air clean so everyone can see the sunset.
 

To the wonderful children of our family – Elayna, Julianna, and James –

There is no issue more important to your future and your friends’ future than stemming climate change.
 

Dear Nieces and Nephews,

I tried.
 

Olá minhas Florzinhas!!!

Minhas florzinhas é isso…. vamos a batalha , procurar se informar sobre empresas que são amigas do meio ambiente, tentar banir as empresas que poluem nosso ar, nossos rios.
 

Dear Ryan,

I hope that you start doing things that will help the world.
 

Dear Ezmae,

As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.
 

to my dearest children,

Our future is being made now, and I promise to do everything in my power to make yours safe.
 

Dear Ellie,

My heart is an ocean of love for all the children facing a life of climate catastrophe.
