To all my friends, Americans

10 years ago, I was out on disability for a hernia operation. Sitting on the couch with my 1 year old grandson sleeping beside me. I couldn't help but be overcome with emotions and also wondering what kind of world my grandson would be growing up in. Because at that moment, the world just changed dramatically.
10 years forward to present day, I'm home on another disability sitting on the couch with my 11 year old grandson. Still wondering what kind of world he will be growing up in. Everything has changed, and not for the better I hate to say. Lost freedoms, missed opportunities, economic decline. He has been robbed of so many things at the young age of 11.
We said a prayer for the lives lost as well as the survivors and families who's lives were torn apart that day.
