With most people I know, it seems like the older we get, the harder life becomes. We had drug problems in our family and I had to watch family members being hauled to prison. I would have never believed this could happen to me and beloved family members. But it did. When we were kids in the fiftys and sixtys, the teachers made us very frightened about drug use, and it seemed like there was more hope for us in the future than there is now. I hope I am wrong about that. It seems the youth are out of control and they don't see a bright future for the world or themselves.

I have eleven grandsons and not one of them that are old enough care about thier life down the road they just know someone will feed them and someone will give them a place go sleep and someone will give them a job if they feel like working. i can't think of what my family would have done to me in the sixties if i had any idle time and i don't understand the youth today that does not see that you have to work for many reasons not only for the financial aspect but it builds character along with responsibility.. What is a grandparent to do
