[quote=Anonymous]Life can be really overwhelming when unexpected challenges, like not having childcare, disrupt our day. But when I pause and think about the larger struggles—like the tragedy of a plane crash or the deep uncertainty faced by immigrant families—I realize how much perspective shapes our emotions. While I can’t control everything around me, I do have control over how I respond to these emotions. I’m grateful to be here, to be alive, and yes, even grateful for the inconvenience—because it could be so much worse. It could have been my family on that plane, or I could be undocumented, living in fear. But I’m not. I’m alive, a grandchild of undocumented immigrants, and an American citizen. This is me and how I’m dealing with it. I def have been hugging my kids tighter these days. [/quote]
