5. I hear that.

Yesterday

I often think of how stoic my parents and grandparents were, and how they must have suffered during both wars and the intervening economic collapse. The daily grind of anxiety and horror would have shattered me, I think. I want to live up to their example.

Right now, we must love as hard as we can and fight the battle in front of us.

And for you today - no dread! Please enjoy the game, the treats and the happy soul of your golden chonk.
