12. Trump will never get "it,"
Wed Nov 14, 2018, 08:10 AM
Nov 2018

he will be on his death bed, fearful, confused, crying like a baby, because he never learned one simple truth, the only way to get anything out of life is by giving.

My daughter, from Pittsburgh, brought her 5 year old son to visit me. I live in a small town 100 miles away. She wanted some peace and quiet for her job she had a computer-conference scheduled. It was Veterans Day and my grandson's school was down for the holiday. I took him to our library, went down the stairs, and heard a hoard of kids playing. It was a kindergarten class from our local school. I saw the look of joy on my grandson's face when he saw those kids. He threw his coat in the pile of coats on the floor and dove in to a Lego table. Before I could say anything to one of the teachers she said to me, he is welcome to join in. When my daughter made it back home from her visit she texted me and thanked me for watching my grandson. I texted back, no, thank you.

I never see Donald with his son Barron. Why doesn't he take him golfing with him? There are so many activities that I remember the Obamas included their daughters in while Barack was president. Trump will never understand that things, matter, is an illusion. I will never forget that look on my grandson's face.
