When I looked back at all I've lived through and witnessed, I felt like in spite of the bad parts, we've progressed in so many ways - 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I was able to remain somewhat optimistic because life runs in cycles, but as long as we are still moving forward, it was worth it.

I never anticipated anything quite like this though. We seems to be retreating backward at an alarming rate and I can't see any resolution. So as I am adjusting to being in the final chapter of my life, I have to adapt to this madness as well?

I also have grown children and we can talk about what is happening openly, but it is my 11 year old grandsons that I'm most concerned about. They are still so innocent.
