“Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Anything can happen at any given time.” “Everybody can make a difference. It doesn't matter how many or how few resources anyone has. Everybody can make a difference.”
“Start doing things that might prepare your children for challenges.”
“Make sure you have a support network for you and the kids, and you’ll be able to get through whatever it is.”
“Challenges are coming for all of us at some point or another, and the more we prepare ourselves to face those head-on as they happen, the better off we are.”
