In a moment of everyday life, a mother reflects on the turmoil of current events affecting families, particularly in relation to immigration fears. As she teaches her daughter to chop an onion, she recognizes that such life skills represent much more than cooking—they embody survival, independence, and empowerment. Despite overwhelming feelings of helplessness due to societal issues, she finds purpose in raising self-sufficient and kind individuals, underscoring that nurturing the next generation is vital amidst external chaos.
Because this kind of stuff is more than just a life skill, it's survival. It's independence. It's empowerment. It's teaching my kids how to be confident in the world.
The terror other mothers feel, it's deep within us, and we know that we're just lucky it hasn't affected us yet. That terrible things are happening every day to families just like ours.
