Will August Ever End?

Unfortunately our family got some more bad news this morning. I am not going to share what that new is because it is not my place to share it. When it is appropriate I will do so, But let me state that I am shocked, saddened and frankly pissed off.

August 2023 cannot end soon enough for me. It has been the worse damn month of my whole life.

I know God does everything for a reason and while it may not be clear or understood by us that are left behind it is done for some greater good.

While in one sense Jennifer's passing make me question my faith, in another sense it renews my faith that we all have a purpose in this world and the one after it and that we should treat each other with love, respect and dignity.

In some ways I am glad Jen does not have to put up with the bullshit going on in this world and especially this country anymore. It disheartens me daily to see the stuff going on and the lack of understanding and willingness to truly address the "real" problems.

I know the new song by Oliver Anthony "Rich Men North of Richmond" is resonating with many people because it is a musical representation of the issues that most of the country is struggling with. Low pay, high taxes and politicians in Washington lining their pockets and personal interests. Both parties are guilty and are more than eager to try to make the other one look worse than their party.

I am so glad that Jennifer and I did not have children that are inheriting the mess our generation is creating and leaving them with. I worry for the future of my nieces/nephews.

Anyway, I will continue to fight the good fight and I will strive to do my part to be a better human being and to love and respect my fellow man. God Bless you all.
