Maybe it's because I'm a mom. I wind up thinking of what those obscene numbers mean in terms of how many mothers who are crying over a lost loved one. Someone they care dearly about, but can't be near to offer comfort as death nears. Friends they can't have around them for support. Denied a solemn service of memory and grieving and attempted closure, where friends, family, and other loved ones almost literally cling to each other for solace. I always think about some mother out there, crying. That mere flat cold number is her child, her spouse, her parent or grandparent, her brother or sister, stolen away too soon.

eliminate my Home Town in 4 1/2 hours. That same progression would wipe out our Community in 14 hours,do not think these Trump Supporters,which by the way are the make up of our Community, have a friggin clue. Sometimes thing they are Math challenged to begin with.

As a parent,the same thoughts go through my empty head on many occasions when I think of the numbers and relate those numbers to a Town Village or a small City.

As my Grand Mother always said,I don't want to bury my Children or Grand Children,I want to go first,they will have to learn how to make things better.

They're supposed to outlive us. THEY, the younger generations, are supposed to bury US, their elders. It's not supposed to be the other way around.
