Two daughters and a son, ranging in age from 31-27, and all three are committed to social justice, progressive values, and voting for only those with a D next to their name. Makes this old Gen Xer feel like he did something right

(5,027 posts)You did good.
I have 2 boys, 25 and 22. They are good guys.
The first in my family to get a college degree.
The oldest works a non-profit doing taxes for low income folks.
He told me he really likes finding extra $ for single mothers.
The youngest will graduate from West Chester in the spring.
Both progressive. How could they not be after hearing me yelling about the God damned republicans all their lives.
I'm damned proud of them both.

Happy Pop's Day!
