John,

I just can't imagine. I complain about the state of affairs I'm in and then I read your father's tales. I've had nothing, lived in tents and shelters and still lived better than many during the great Republican depression. Death or up was their only choice. Our father's saved us. Sometimes kicking and screaming but, they did it. Now those same fucking Republicans, Nazis and Fascists every one of them are out to destroy us again. Oh Daddy, is this how it was for you? I wish you were alive to tell me. I was young once and to stupid to ask. Or if I did ask I was to stupid to listen. I'm glad you are sharing the words of your father with us John.

Thank you.

Thank you, John, for sharing your father's words -- and your own -- with us. They remind us that however sorry our own circumstances are, others have it much worse. Wherever we live, we must count our blessings and do what we can to improve the lot of others,
