I believe Mr. Brokaw got that name right. They were tough. They went through the Great Depression, won World War II when most of them were far too young for such a thing, then came back home, got to work, and built this country back up. I'm not saying things were perfect. We had some things to work out, racism for one. But all my parents ever asked for was a fair chance. Give them that, and they would do the rest. That generation is rapidly leaving us, and it breaks my heart.<br /><br />Prayers for your dear mother. My mother was close at death's door many times, then would rally and do well for a good while. It seems you win all those fights until you lose the last one. Prayers that this is not your mother's last fight.<br />Don Travis Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660077259232394194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-18303973533642704992018-02-22T21:44:59.608-05:002018-02-22T21:44:59.608-05:00well, peace has to be worth something.

It is not a pleasant or wonderful process. Our sympathies to you and your mother, and of course, prayers.
