Life is Short

When my daughter was 9 I (along with about 52% of the country) voted for a black man to become the next President of the United States. We sure have some a long way in a pretty short period of time.

While we certainly aren't "The Greatest Generation" (our grandfathers hold that distinction), I feel we are part of a generation that is very lucky. Both for what we have seen, and what we have not had to see.
I hope that was understood, because it sounded really good in my head.
