I"m so sorry

[cilla4progress]

to the young people of our country and the world -

young adults, children, teens, babies....

this fucking pandemic.

You deserve better.

I think of my own 28 year old who was in Austin on 3/15/20 when the world turned upside down and life as we knew it stopped. There for a conference with grand plans for an add-on to partake in all the glory Austin provides. Instead she had to fly back home in a panic, not knowing if there would be a future for her.

She - and all of you - have been and continue to put up with a lot of shit these last 2 years.

And honestly - that's just scratching the surface.

1. A grandson was in Singapore on a college trip......just made it home that March.I was terrified.

2. All I could tell my daughter

was to keep a Fisherman's Friend throat lozenge in her mouth on the flight home... bogus!

We knew absolutely NOTHING about how to protect ourselves. She came back to our home a couple weeks later so we could be together...again, anxious and subduing panic, and we just hiked together, roamed the hills around here....

These are such critical tears - lost years - for all these young people. They will be forever scarred.

I hope something good comes out of it.

6. Another grandson lost the entire last semester of his college Senior Year......they had a

virtual graduation ceremony…degree sent in the mail. They could return to the campus once to empty their dorms.

Awful for that generation.

3. Mine was 22 in San Marcos and neither him or my 24 yr old would come home

cause they did not want to kill me. Yes, their world changed. Think of the babies that only saw faces without masks.
