I'm 72 years old and I grew up on a farm. I was 7 or 8 years old and going out to pump water out of the well to drink. When I was 11, I used to milk the old Jersey cow so we'd have milk on the table. The damn thing kicked me, stepped on my toes and kept whacking me on the side of my head with its tail as I was milking. I had 4 sisters and 2 brothers and we had no money. A nickel was a big deal. My parents grew up in the Netherlands during the depression and WW2. No electricity, no running water, no food at times. My dad came from a family of 16. He's now 93 and the idea of abortion angers him deeply. He said that life was tough, my grandfather was a gruff old man but that was life and he appreciates all the sacrifices that his parents made to raise him and his siblings. He did the same for us, at times working 3 jobs....at a shoe factory at night, on the farm during the day and as a musician on the weekends. He used to tell me to be grateful that we were Christian folk because it was up to him, he'd make me work on Sundays, too.
I know how tough life was. Kids here in North America have it damn easy, today. I think that I had it easy compared to my parents, grandparents and all those before that. We've become a bunch of crybabies, with no gratitude for what our ancestors went through so we could finally have the easy life......but all we do is whine. What a way to spend the only life that we have. I don't feel silly at all. I'm grateful.
