A Loss of Innocence

Our jobs as adults is to protect and shelter our children.  As children they should be free to explore the world, walk fearlessly through their formative years and absorb all that is good.

Unfortunately, more often nowadays that is not the case.  It pains me that our children once again have seen people die, get hurt and to be afraid of what can occur at a public function.

Why can't they enjoy some of the simple things that we grew up with?  How about walking to school with no fear of being abducted, when bullying was the big kid stealing your milk money and not a social media cyber attack?

For as much progress as we have made in the last couple of decades we have lost being able to provide a world that is safe, energizing, informative and wonderful for our children.

Let's remember what is important and who we are here for - that next generation, your and my children.
