New York City is at the epicenter coping with the COVID-19 with an unrelenting core of First Responders giving their all for the life of others. The New York Police Department is out in the field day and night as the toll is hitting hard within. Fire Department, Emergency Responders, Doctors, Nurses, support systems of many manufactures and business providing services are part of a long line of endless people stepping forward trying to save others.
At a time when darkness seems to be prevailing, we have seen the need and power that working together as one can bring. The more we join together and resolve any differences the more we as a nation are moving ahead to conquer the sorrow and evil, that so many are facing.
Love, compassion and respecting differences as a people will allow more time that all can spend and conquer COVID-19 as one. Reaching out to others at home and around the world will return many times back in the future. How the challenging moments are handled will give the world a view that the human race cares for each other. Working together to solve this evil will make us all stronger to place our energies into creating a better world.
Never again should we take our First Responders for granted but with “gratitude.”
