Thank you for your service

The universe thanks you.

Dear workforce warriors,

From day one, all of you had made our lives so much easier than we even realized.

The truck drivers transporting goods from all over the country, the packaging workers at Amazon, grocery store workers, gas station workers, fast food restaurants, nurses, and doctors, and so many more. You've always made it possible for us to live in a less stressful, easy functioning world. Stocking groceries weekly, so we always have what we need in our homes, and aren't starving. Receiving online orders and packing them accordingly in a timely manner, ensuring we receive everything on time. Driving for hours and hours on end from one end of the country to another just to transport our goods, and packages. Taking care of us when we are ill, and ensuring any conditions every individual has is treated accordingly. Being open all hours of the night, so we can make pit stops on road trips, or pick anything we need in the middle of the night up with no issues. Preparing food daily for us to enjoy after we worked long day's, and are too lazy to cook, or if we just don't know how to cook. Regardless of the scenario, each and every one of you was there. Through good, and now through the terrible. You've all had your own way of taking care of us by doing the little things we normally don't even think about.

Now, It's difficult to not have everything you do on our minds. With the pandemic, and quarantine keeping us all cooped up, we have done nothing but rely on all of you to take care of us. We have the delivery drivers bringing our groceries, and food. The post office, FEDEX, and other delivery services working over time, and bringing our packages on time. There are remote workers constantly working to ensure we can reach someone when things are going wrong at home. With the long hours, and danger you put yourselves in everyday for us, we couldn't be more thankful, for everything.

Even after all of this strangeness has come to an end, things will still be off, and difficult getting used to, but we know you'll still be there. You'll always be there when we need you, you'll be there when we don't even realize you are, you'll be there through thick and thin. None of you ever ask for anything from us, but you deserve the world. You deserve the utmost respect from individuals in your community, and around the world. That respect will always be there, because of everything you have done for us over these long last few months. We would be lost without you.

Hopefully we can all be out of this sooner rather than later so we can show you our gratitude, instead of just telling you over and over again. I'm sure it feels nice to hear, knowing that we recognize you as essential people, but I wish we could be doing more for you. This is a very difficult time that we are all dealing with, and you're all doing the most for everybody around you.

We all hope you are safe, and hope things get back to normal soon, for your sakes. We would be lost without your dedication, and scrifice's. It's difficult to put in words our gratitude for all you do, and have always done.

So we all just want to say...

Thank you.

From all of us in this world of crazy.

P.S: Hopefully, there will be a day where we can all give back to you for all you've done for us.
