This a shoutout to all parents battling to keep their kids safe.”

She continued that she felt the pain and anxiety of all parents, “I feel you , I feel your stress and I also feel your strength . It was only Akshai’s and my teamwork that got us through these last few weeks of trying to take care of the kids and ourselves in our home quarantine. We had moments of a anxiety , frustration , weakness , fear , hope and love. As a couple just when we thought couldn’t get any more tested, we were, and we found a balance and a strength we never knew existed. For single parents or partners who couldn’t be together in these tough times we cannot imagine what it must be like. To all pregnant mamas stay strong and positive. Sending you all our prayers and love. We will get through this.”

Togetherness in understanding and togetherness in execution. Diverse thoughts and ideas can be brought to the table and then dealt with jointly, for the greater good of an entire family. Goals”
