Elderhood....

What more can I say? Our children and our grandchildren are our legacy. What they learn from us will shape who they will become. Growing up in this electronic world is not easy. When my children were little, in the 80's, they decorated a box like a computer. I remember watching them play and hearing, "Let's talk to the computer." I remember thinking that was something I would never think of saying. Today, that is exactly what we all do, we talk to our computers. The computer age has changed everything It is not a bad thing, but kids have lost so much of their childhood interaction with each other and exploration of the natural world that I see kids themselves changing. Mr. President, you and I are the ones who are going to have to show kids how to grow up with the skills they need to learn, to work, to care for each other, to help those who need help, to invent, to repair, to be happy and grateful and kind. I would hope your goals for our children are the same as mine. It is up to us. Sent January 27, 2017
