I have a book of Mr. Roger’s quotes that I’ve owned and treasured for years.
I grew up like a lot of y’all I’m sure, watching my fair share of Mr. Rogers.
I read this in that book a few weeks before tuck was born.
I’ve always thought: how do you explain evil to innocence.
but this is a good jumping off point.
And to my dearest Tuck,
one day you will read about yesterday. maybe in a history book.
it is a stark reminder that the devil is hard at work.
You’ll have lots of those reminders throughout your life. I wish this was not the case.
but you’ll also have reminders how good people are.
how people become the hands and feet of God.
i hope you know that the story of yesterday also holds:
people running to give blood in the hospital. people helping in anyway they could. people running toward the bomb, to help a victim.
i hope you remember the words of some seemingly silly guy in a sweater who shared his wisdom with all.
may you always be the first to help, lend a hand, give blood.
love,
your mama
