Im a grandmother raising her 6 year old grandson who is scared for his future. I cant change the direction this country is taking for him. I want him to grow up confident, prepared, and self sufficient. Sometimes I get so stressed over this election that it paralyzes me to inactivity, if that makes sense. But since I found DU, Ive learned others are scared too. All I have to do is scroll the posts and I know Im not alone in my fear and anger. So to those that gifted me hearts and to everyone else here. THANK YOU! Youve made this grandma feel better.

together in the afternoon or evening, lots of times outdoors, and if possible
a team sport like coach pitch baseball.
Youll do great. All of DU has your back. BTW a childs laughter and smile will
make you richer than Musk will ever be.
