I'm not much of a poster here, but the passing of my mom on Friday is as good a reason as any.
She was in deep, no doubt will be refered to as "faithful to the end" by those who eulogize her. This new chapter in my life of course has me is a reflecive mood. I'm sure when she was diagnosed with cancer 4 years ago that her hope was that the "new system" would come before she succumbed. Having been out for the many years I have, I see the irony in this. That she or any one else would wish the demise of 6 BILLION human beings just to cheat death themselves, is in a word, monstrous. I would rather be dead forever than spend any time with a group of people who think this "hope" of theirs is a good thing.
On a positive note, my daughter just called to tell me she's expecting......now that is hope.
You all have a good day, Kat
