While watching some videos recently, I came across one I feel compelled to share. Back in April, I had the special opportunity to bring my daughters to work for Bring Your Kids to Work Day. During their visit, my awesome coworkers at the Office of the Secretary, DHS, recorded clips capturing our kids’ thoughts on what it’s like seeing their parents at work for the State and what they think we do at work.

This video melts my heart and reminds me of the incredible balance so many of us strive to maintain while serving our community with hard work and dedication while also raising the next generation.

To all the working parents out there: Your efforts, both at work and at home, are shaping a brighter future. These kids are watching, learning, and dreaming. I remain hopeful for the future.
