250 Sidney Street Belleville, On K8P 3Z3 I have been reflecting on the past two years of COVID-19 and how it has changed every one of us. As a parent this has been hard to watch. I am the father of 3 young children. How do you explain that one day we won’t need to wear masks every day? How do you let them know that you were also hurting because you couldn’t see friends and family during special times? How could you reassure them that one day soon they would play their favourite sports with their buddies again? I have witnessed my kids struggle with isolation and yes, fear. COVID-19 has changed all of us.
As parents we try to focus on the positive. We say, “This will end and soon we will be back on the sport fields!” and we were right. Here is to the start of swim meets, basketball tournaments, hockey weekends, volleyball games, curling bonspiels, being on the softball pitch and skating carnivals. If I were a coach I would say “Our back was against the wall, but we gave it 110%!”. I would add “We were down but not out!” and I would finish with “This generation of players is all heart!”
As your Member of Parliament please know I am here for you. My teams in the riding office in Belleville and on the Hill in Ottawa are here for you. We are listening to you, and we will continue to fight for you.
Email: ryan.williams@parl.gc.ca Thank you Bay of Quinte, for being resilient and strong!
