After yesterday's tragic event at the Boston Marathon, we find ourselves at a loss for words. Stunned. Sad. There are some things that will never make sense no matter how hard we try to understand them.
People often talk about regaining a sense of normalcy, moving forward, and getting back into a routine and we understand the reasons for that, but at Kids Five and Over we are opting to push the pause button and think about those people who were affected by the tragedy. Four young people lost their lives, hundreds were injured, and countless others saw images they may never be able to erase from their minds.
We turn to Fred Rogers to help us reframe our thinking during this period of pause -
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'"
Our thanks to the people who are helping. Your bravery and selflessness is inspiring. Thank you for reminding us that good always wins and that helping others is always the right thing to do.
