This day we honor all who have raised children who are not of their own reproduction. It’s hard work, for which St. Joe is also the patron saint. Setting a table with candles and flowers, his image, a hammer, some nails and homemade bread in various symbolic shapes is traditional.
My grandparents certainly help to raise me. My grandfather‘s name is Joe. And he had his own workbench. His efforts inspired me to participate in raising my stepson, as well as to contribute to protecting and sheltering many of his friends. Now with the pandemic, I will have a chance again to shelter him as he is about to return to us from Bali where visas are no longer being issued.
Who have you contributed to raising, apart from your own offspring?How comfortable are you with hard work? Ki to Happiness works hard for the good of all children.
