Stick up for what you believe in

My dear Hailey,

Tomorrow Sissy & Auntie are going to the March For Our Lives march. I'm writing because I'm a little worried about them- about their safety.

I know I shouldn't worry. I know that would be "jinxing it". I know that we can't live our lives in fear etc etc... I know all this & I usually don't worry, I've never been that kind of person. But lately things have been so crazy baby girl. Seems like the world has gone mad...

We were all supposed to go, but then Bella woke up sick this morning. She stayed home from school & it seems like it's going to be more than a 24 hr cold. I was hesitant from the beginning, then when they both said they wanted to go, then I had to go. I was going to be there too in case something were to happen... :(

Oh baby girl. Maybe that is the point of this March. That you don't ever think things like what happened at that school will happen to you- until it does & then it changes everything. It turns your whole life upside down, everything you thought you ever knew, your view of yourself & the rest of the world...even your reason for living changes...

Then your mission becomes to try & save others from the same misery. To make others see, to make them listen, to try & make a change for a better tomorrow...

Just like what happened to us.

In my eyes, that's all these kids are trying to do. Make a change for a better tomorrow. People can agree & disagree on whether it's the right way or the wrong way, but at the end of the day, that's all they are trying to do.

So although I'm worried, I'm proud of Sissy & Auntie for making a stand. I wish we could join them.

I put this on Sissy's wall just now:

In the caption I said:  just wanted to leave this here for you. Part of your sister Hailey's bio from Instagram if you remember...it just reminded me of tomorrow & wanted to remind you too, that she’s proud of you & will be by your side. Love you 💜

I asked God to watch over them & I know you will be by their side too my angel. <3

I love you so much.

Goodnight my sweet girl.

Forever,
Your mommy
