Today marks the beginning of Hanukkah, a joyous eight-day celebration for so many right here in Sandy Springs, around our country, and across the globe.
Whether or not you join in the celebration of Hanukkah this year, we wanted to share a quick reflection with you, in light of the challenging year we have all faced.
Did you know that Hanukkah translates to “dedication” in Hebrew? We found this translation to be especially fitting as we reflect on the year that has been.
So many dedicated essential workers put their lives on the line to keep us safe, healthy and informed this past year. Their sacrifice will never go unnoticed, nor will it be forgotten.
And while it isn’t much, we just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you to the dedicated nurses, doctors, EMS workers and first responders who found themselves on the frontlines of our country’s response to this pandemic…
…to the dedicated hospital housekeepers and sanitation workers for doing incredible work in keeping hospitals as clean and healthy as possible…
…to the dedicated medical technicians and pharmacy technicians for helping to make sure our medical offices kept running as efficiently as possible…
…to the dedicated grocery store cashiers, delivery personnel and stock clerks for making sure we were all able to keep our families safe and healthy at home…
…and to the dedicated senior caregivers and bus drivers for helping to take care of our most vulnerable populations.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you have done, are doing and will do.
We are forever grateful for your dedication this year and always.
Happy Hanukkah, everyone. Blessings to you and yours.
