I have morning duty in the parking lot of my school. Every other day, I am witness to countless parents dropping their teenage kids off to school where I am privy to hearing what the kids say when getting out of the car:

“Bye Dad, I love you!”
“Have a good day, Mom.”
“See you at home.”

If this was indicative of what’s happening everywhere in the world right now, our problems are only a generation away from being solved. Unfortunately, we all know better.

Despite the growing attachment loving parents have to their kids (not perfect, obviously), there are still numerous issues and deep seated problems that are incredibly difficult to solve. Some people, and some parts of society, are just broken.

But, for a morning, I can witness a slice of life that gives hope for the years to come. If only we could all see and experience it.
