My grandfather died 7 years ago today. I also observed my great-aunt's one-year death anniversary two days ago. He was 85. She was 92. I didn't know either person too well, but they were still important to me in their own ways. They were part of the World War II generation. Those people are mostly gone, yet their influence continues to shape our daily lives.
I have been reading John Adams by David McCullough. It's a fascinating story. People who lived during the American Revolution had less modern conveniences than we do today. They lived under constant threat of destruction by the world's superpower at the time - the British. How lucky we are in 2013 to live in a country that has no overlord. It would be nice to live in a world without overlords, but that won't happen for a long time, if ever.
I would like to do more with my life to help others, so that's a goal I'm working on. There is no shortage of things to do. It's just a matter of focusing on those things and making them happen.
Does anyone still read this blog? I used to have at least one or two readers. It would be nice to hear from you again.
Hasta luego!
