I had to run some of the Kotysnski children home late last week around 5pm. On my way home, I emerged on this scene ...
My husband, fully-decked out in his scrubs for work pushing our youngest daughter on the swing before he left for a night shift.
I want to always remember these moments. John's job has been truly challenging. Overwhelming. He's ended up in administration which was never what we guessed he would be doing. Never what we wanted him to do. So many issues with a merger that occurred before COVID hit. So many issues with COVID in our community. So many issues working in a rural Emergency Room right now. So many issues in our world that are affecting us at a local level.
The flu season is emerging.
Covid is picking up.
John is balancing so many things. And he's doing it amazingly well. He puts the kids to bed and calls to check on things and runs our farm and supports his headache-ridden wife with such amazing strength. Early on in this COVID-battle he had a few days that he really got overrun. But ever since then, it as if he is being carried by the prayers and encouragement of all of you.
He has SUPER HUMAN strength.
THANK YOU to those of you who have sent gifts, texted, sent a card, or just stopped me in person and said thank you. I don't really feel that I am doing anything, but just being recognized ... just people telling our family that we are important to the community means SO much especially right now.
If you know a teacher, a pastor, a doc, a paramedic, a nurse ... take a moment to tell them thank you right now. Everyone is weary.
Your small gestures MEAN THE WORLD!
These families who are fighting so hard are actually being majorly supported by your small actions. They need you. We need you.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
John & Wendi
