A special kind of courage

8/9/2021

It takes a special kind of courage to put a kid on a bus to school.

​But it takes a little extra to do it in a pandemic.
 
It takes some serious trust in science.
And in masks.
And in your kid.
And in their friends, and in their teachers, and in their school, and in their principal, and in the custodians, and in the bus drivers, and in modern medicine, and in the community at large.
 
Trust is something very personal. And, as this article in USA Today shows, it will be the thing you fall back on no matter where you are on the sliding scale of feelings about the fourth wave and the Delta variant and vaccinations and everything else.
 
But I just want to make this really real, and I know you other parents will feel it: I put my kids – my KIDS – out there in the pandemic today. And that takes a special kind of courage. And a whole LOT of $%&*ing trust.

    Hi. I'm Amanda Dobbs.
    ​I like to write, eat, and correct misplaced commas (mostly in that order).
