My youngest daughter, Pennie Jean, was slowly walking towards my wife today, crying and heartbroken. My wife, Brooke, thought maybe she’d fallen off her bike, but when she asked her what was wrong, she said “I miss my grandma. I just want to be close to her. I wish the quarantine was over.” — The physical distance from our loved ones has been so difficult, even for young children! Grandma matters to Pennie Jean. Our family and our friends matter to us, and we matter to them. But, that’s not where the circle of “people who matter” ends. To our healthcare workers and first responders out there keeping us safe, you matter. Those who are working overtime so stores are able to stay stocked with essential items we need to live, you matter. To the moms and dads who are now juggling their normal responsibilities with homeschooling and easing the worried hearts of their children, you matter! . .

There is so much love to be given, and received. Tell somebody they matter to you. ❤️
