God bless you GHWB and thank you for sharing your self-effacing and humorous musings on being 80. Clearly you are sharper than many who ARE 41.
It wasn't fair that you were taken down by your own. We conservatives owe you gratitude.
"God bless you GHWB"
This was sweet to read and I thank God for all his years of service. I could not help but read between the lines and feel a little sad though, his being 80 and seeing all the changes he has seen in this world and watching as we did such great things over the years as a nation only to be where we are today. Sometimes it must seems hopeless to them. I wonder how it must feel to watch it all, through their grandchildren, see the trivia and nonsense that so many waste their time on, it must be real discouraging sometimes to have given so much and THIS is what we have to show for it. I pray these seniors will see young children that will give them a real reason to believe everything they did was worth it for this future generation and not in vain. Our children and grandchildren owe it to these seniors now, who have all their lives done so much and come through so much trial.
