Seldom does a day go by when my husband and I see something or hear about something and our united response is "nobody cares" or "people just don't care anymore." It is often in reference to old fashioned values like respect or concern.
We can't begin to imagine raising kids in today's climate. Where the political anger has spilled over into all areas of life and a little boy can "demand" that the Vice President of the United States must apologize for accidentally hitting him when he raised his arm.
Almost daily we witness behaviors that stun and even shock us. We see people that openly and willingly do things to others or say things about others that they would never want done to themselves and they do it for the entire world to see.
I see grandparents openly denigrate and disrespect political figures. This is the "norm" and the behaviors that many young people are subject to and witness and are sure to model later in life.
My husband and I also talk about how lucky we are to have each other and to care for one another. It is team work and based on love and respect and it wasn't always that way either. We learned often through trial and error how to care for one another. We learned that we are better together than apart. That doesn't mean that we haven't experienced our share of issues either. We have.
The bottom line is that when you have found someone that cares; cares about you and cares about all the things and the people and the places that you care about that it is special and to be cherished.
At a time when our culture seems so self-absorbed … care and care often and see just how much goodness comes into your life as a result and watch who then comes forward and cares about you.
