Dear myself in the future!

Around this time it was almost the 1 year anniversary for COVID-19, I also wonder if my dog Finley will still be alive. And I wonder how old I’ll be. On this day, it’s a Monday, and, I’m getting tired of all the masks.

I hope I become very successful and that I like my job. I hope COVID-19 will be gone.

I promise to at least try and make a difference in the world, leave a mark before I go. Or just plainly help people in tough times.

I know some people think it’s a hoax, but it’s very true and it’s mostly our fault. We drive cars that make it worse, we also run factories that produce the greenhouse gasses into the air like cars. I wish it would stop and, hope people will actually try and make a difference.

Dear Finley,

I wonder if in 2050 we will be looking at a future where fear from the changes at hand has caused people to hate rather than love and provide hope. Perhaps in that world we will we no longer comprehend the biblical texts in a meaningful way. Will climate change be the end of the epoch of God?

 

To my daughter,

The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.

 

Dear Tom and Leena,

I want you to only see the beauty in this world; there is so much of it and I will protect this beauty for as long as I am here on this Earth.

 

Dear Earth,

I will keep the air clean so everyone can see the sunset.

 

Future Self & Ka’iulani,

We promise to reduce the amount of carbon we use on a daily basis.

 

To My Future Child(ren),

The fact that you are reading this means that you would know the answer to a question that has kept me up at night more often than I would like to admit: Did I make you proud?

 

Queridas crianças do mundo inteiro,

Pedimos que vocês procurem fazer como nós e continuem essa luta de colaborar com nosso planeta: evitando o consumo exagerado, usando a tecnologia para o bem, plantando árvores, economizando água e poluindo menos.

 

dear future children,

As I write this, our world is slowly giving way to climate change.

 

To my beloved granddaughters, Margaret and Caroline,

Growing up in Germany, I often wondered what my parents had done to oppose the Nazi regime in the 1930’s that led to WWII.  I was so disappointed when I found out how passive they had been. For me, this was formative.

 

To you, my dear!

In 2050, I will still be fighting against climate change. I feel that it’s not only my duty, but rather my destiny.

 

Dear Kai and Leah,

I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.

 

Hola Cariño,

Life is not easier being a believer but I would not have picked another path. Thanks to my Faith I found my passion to work to stop climate change for your future. Now go play outside and breathe clean air. Dios te bendiga.
