Hold on to HOPE
This has been a rather somber week for most of us here in Monmouth County. Recalling the tragic day of 9/11, a devastating fire in Seaside, and the start of school for many, reminding us the lazy days of summer have come to an end. Transitions, change and tragedy can be difficult to deal with but we must hold on to hope.
It’s through the bright eyes of my children that I try to look at the events of this past week and think, how do I explain all of this to them? It’s not easy as I try my best to answer the questions they pose regarding the different experiences they encounter. I hope I am giving them satisfying answers.
I find hope in adults and children; in the kids I see playing on playgrounds and at the grocery store. I find hope in the first responders, who take care of all of us, no matter what the need is. I find hope in the survivors who have been through so much but yet find the strength to go on.
