Thank you.
Thank you for your late nights and early mornings so everyone has what they need.
Thank you for your relentless pursuit to create better days for you and yours.
Thank you for trying, every day, even when you have to try without having all that you need to succeed.
Thank you for taking the deep breath and then just doing it, no matter how hard, how painful and how overwhelming.
Thank you for speaking up and speaking out so you and yours receive the help and support that’s needed.
Thank you for your kindness to others as you struggle to navigate a world that can be so unkind.
Thank you for showing up, when others disappear, to provide the care, offer the support and hold the hands.
Thank you gathering up the courage to have the tough conversations, make the difficult decisions and face the heartbreaking news.
Thank you for staying true to your values, even as you question your decisions and actions. You are valuable. Your experiences are valuable. Your life of value will reward you.
What thanks would you add to my list?
