[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 641175, member: 17542"] Ah Lucy. I'm so glad to hear of your day. And you know something, I can totally see your son's viewpoint. I have similar thoughts and feelings about certain issues---an aside---my new husband and I sit at the kitchen table every morning after I get back from exercise and read two papers. Usually I get all wound up about something. We have a standing joke about my "taking the bench" as I sit on a little bench on one side of the table instead of a chair. Sometimes I can stop and hear myself rant about something and I have to shake myself to get some perspective and stop. Of course the world serves up many disappointments and stresses and frustrations...if only everybody would do things like WE would have them done. And it also serves up so many joys and so much love. And of course, it's not about us and what we want solely. I am an activist at heart so your son's story stirs something within me. Over my life, I have been able to step back from the youthful version of myself and gain that perspective. I still wish things were fair for everybody. I still wish Ferguson, Missouri didn't happen. I still wish poor people made more money...a living wage. I still wish a whole lot of things. God Bless Him. I wish he could get what he needs to come back to society and do what he can to make a difference in this world as we need people like him who care deeply. I also understand that is up to him. You are a great Mom, Lucy. Always know what. You are love personified, and I believe that you are the best of what God hopes for all of us. Warm hugs today, dear friend across the Pond. [/QUOTE]
