As I reflect on the day each of you entered my life, I am reminded of the overwhelming instinct to protect you. From the very start, I followed every bit of medical advice during my pregnancy to ensure you had the healthiest beginning possible. I cut back on salt, increased my water intake, and took those large prenatal vitamins to support your growth.
Throughout your baby years, I made certain you never missed a check-up and kept up with your immunizations. I was vigilant when you fell ill, always ready to rush to the pediatrician if needed. I adhered strictly to the doctor’s instructions, ensuring you received all your medications and were well-hydrated. Thankfully, modern medicine helped us navigate your childhood illnesses with ease.
As you grew, my commitment to your safety never wavered. I taught you essential lessons like holding hands in busy parking lots, avoiding strangers, and understanding fire safety. When it came time for you to learn to drive, my focus shifted to ensuring you became a responsible driver. I still recall my anxiety as you took the wheel for the first time and the worry that gripped me whenever you were late. Every rule I set was designed to guide you safely into adulthood.
Now, as you stand as adults, the responsibility for your safety falls on you. I no longer make those choices for you. However, I do have a heartfelt request: please consider getting the COVID vaccine. I’m not as young and healthy as you, and the risks I face are greater. While I have received my vaccine, which offers significant protection, I worry about the possibility of you contracting COVID and passing it on to me, or to someone else who might be vulnerable.
Much like the vaccinations I ensured you received as infants to safeguard your health, I am asking you to do the same for me now. If you have any hesitations, please reach out to your healthcare provider. Consult with multiple doctors if needed. Use the same trusted professionals you would consult for other health concerns.
Modern medicine has made incredible strides, and we wouldn’t want to return to a time when children faced life-threatening diseases that are now preventable. Our collective goal is to live long, healthy lives and cherish our time with family and friends. Sometimes that means making choices for the sake of others, and in this case, it involves getting vaccinated.
I understand your reluctance, but I am asking you to do this for me, and for the wellbeing of those who love you.
