我们都有自己的回忆，但有一些课程我希望肯定他们携带。
总有一天，我希望世界关闭的时候只是一个我可以告诉我的孩子的故事。
我会告诉他们他们上学的时间以及他们对家庭中的时间表给我留下了深刻的印象。我喜欢在家里看到他们的创造力，就像他们在客厅里的音乐会一样，当我们的互联网出去时，他们组成的游戏，晚上彼此在彼此的房间里的甜蜜睡眠。
一旦他们年纪大了，我可能会向他们承认我遗漏了一些故事的硬部分。
关于他们在商店找到卫生纸的时候他们的奶奶如何称呼我，然后在我们的车道上哭了，因为她无法拥抱它们。甚至让我们的邮件甚至觉得我们冒着生活的冒险，以及他们的爸爸和我是多么担心，即使我们试图让它成为他们的乐趣时间。
我希望我们能够在我们的生活中的这一时间变得一个遥远的记忆，这是我们可以重新链接的过去的时间的“两种方式”的故事。
但事实是，即使发生这种情况，我也知道这种经历改变了家庭 - 以及我家的方式 - 永远。
因为这种病毒改变了我们。这次已经改变了我。
我的孩子才可能不明白，但这是我将来会告诉他们的，作为大流行后的父母：
Maybe hankies aren’t that weird after all
This time has been an eye-opening and rather startling realization of how much freaking toilet paper our family of 7 uses on a daily basis (I mean, you can’t really count the baby just yet, but 7 sounds more impressive, so I’m going with that).
我曾经认为用汉克吹你的鼻子是老人的习惯，但你知道是什么？我现在得到它。我得到它很多。
继续，制作Tiktok视频
在这个时间的不确定性,我已经提醒that the internet really can be a tool to connect us all, because sometimes, we just need a little lightness among the stark reality.
It seems so silly, but the people who took the time to make the meme that made me laugh or that TikTok video that helped me take my mind off the global death rate for just a minute so I could actually sleep at night are heroes to me right now.
P.S.如果我的11岁是在读这篇文章：不，你仍然不能打电话，抱歉，如果这令人困惑。
你的故事很重要
I’m a writer, so I’ve always believed in the power of words — but now, more than ever, I am reminded that in times of crisis, our stories are what matters.
The ER doctor speaking out from her hospital where a refrigerated truck holds dead bodies, the stories of the nurses wrapping themselves in garbage bags in a feeble attempt at protection, the stories of families who have faced the virus together — these are the stories that make their way into our hearts, lodge into our brains, and spur us to action.
Your stories have power. Tell them.
你是美丽的，就像你的方式
这可能是我女儿比我的儿子更多的课程，他们经常选择他的头部作为时尚选择，但这种流行病的效果让我们击倒了我们的基地自我。
没有出门给任何人留下深刻印象，没有前往沙龙的旅行，没有睫毛延长或微玻璃约会，没有打蜡或喷雾晒黑或在凌晨购物。
And it’s been strangely a relief? I hope that it’s something my kids can hold onto as they grow up, because it just goes to show, you truly don’t need any of that to be your most beautiful.
It’s not always about you
If this virus has taught us anything, I hope it’s the message that life is bigger than just you.
So many of us were told in the beginning that to stop the spread of the virus we had to stay home, and we heeded that call. Not only to protect ourselves, but to protect others.
有时候，你必须看看更大的画面来做什么是正确的。
你最好欣赏你桌子上的食物
Up until now, our family — and largely our nation as a whole — has operated on convenience.
Hungry? You can literally press a button and have food delivered to your house. But now, things are drastically different. We’ve had to take a step back and completely reevaluate how we feed our families.
Do we really want to buy that one box of sugary cereal for $4, or is that giant tub of oatmeal that can feed us for weeks the better purchase? Is it really worth the risk to go to the grocery store and fight for the last chicken breast in the store right now? And how do you adjust when your usual way of shopping or ordering just isn’t possible anymore?
The point is, for the first time in a long time, many of us have been forced to realize that food doesn’t just magically appear — there’s a long chain of invisible work that it takes to get to our plates.
当你突然不确定那个链是否会举行，你开始欣赏你拥有更多更多的东西。#finishyourplate一代刚刚变得非常真实。哦，还有，如果可以的话，植物花园。
你比你想象的更强大
真的，你是。
你可以做艰难的事情。当你做那些难以做到的事情时，要承认他们很难，因为这并没有让你变得虚弱。
你是我的希望
立即见到你，在家里，童年周围的稚气在你身边，是为了让我希望未来。
我看到了你在池塘里挖掘污垢的方式，我们在池塘里谈到了微生物的课程后，我想象你是一群治疗另一个疾病的科学家。
我听到你的甜美的声音唱歌，而且我谦卑的是音乐可以触摸灵魂无论他们在哪里。
我用这种浓度看着你的颜色，我想知道是否有一天，你会签署法律，以同样的重点和决心。
我有希望，因为你是那一代将从这种流行病中出现，而是由它教导你的课程形成的。
I have hope because out of a time when the world shut down around us, what truly matters — having all of you together — has never been more sacred.
