@joeygllghr @Ace_Chilly I’m a boomer. You have a valid point. I paid for my first semester of college in cash. $400. A goodly sum in 1979 - but doable in the context of a summer job. I did end up borrowing to complete school. Even with my financial help, my kids debt load was far higher.

@TraceyR64968698 I’m so so so very sorry. You have such a long sad journey ahead of you. My son died 10 years ago. While this is your journey, you don’t have to do it alone. Talking helps. Feeling sad is ok. You owe no one anything. Feel what you need to. Cry. You will never forget him. Take care

@smondello @AngrierWHStaff He doesn’t have the capacity to feel guilt. Remember, everything is about him. It’s either a real medical emergency or he is setting up and excuse to resign. But since he thinks he always wins, I’m guessing the former.

@KayeSteinsapir I have met some very kind people since my son died. One guy said to me “tell me about your son”. I will never forget it. Another was a dad of whose son was killed at columbine. We talked for an hour. Others also of course - I remember them all and have tried to pay it forward.

@dalee1203 I am so so so sorry. It is so very difficult to have a child die. You have a hard road ahead. Please take time to grieve, cry all you need to. Get some professional help if you can. It’s been nine years for me. I still have bad days. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Take care.

So today is the ninth anniversary of my sons death. As much as I try to not have this day, this date, impact me it still does. I’d rather not even acknowledge it - seems to be beyond me. It seems both long ago and just yesterday at the same time. Life can be hard. Take care all.

@adammocklerr A guy in a bar one night asked me if I was a lib (I had really long hair and beard at the time). I said yes. He asked if I went to college. I said yes. He said I had no doubt been indoctrinated. I told him college teaches you how to think - not what to think.

@jaxmadmom84 I’m so sorry for your loss(es). It’s awful. We had a full term stillborn girl years ago, and my 24 yo son died 9 years ago. I went to the cemetery yesterday (it was very cold) for a bit. This is a hard life sometimes. I hope you (and me for that matter) can find some peace.

@BlackKnight10k I really believe he will be in prison. I’m not a conspiracy guy, but…. The mainstream Republican Party members and donors don’t really want Donnie back. Why? He is bad for business. He is bad for the Republican Party. That means people with real power are not going to help him.

@clairethrossell I’m so so so sorry. I wasn’t there when my son died. It was nine years ago. A car he was working on fell on him. I keep thinking how scared and panicked he must have been 😢. Hopefully he was knocked out right away but I don’t know that. Anyhow, I feel for you. Take care.
