The Leader of the Free World.
I'd give anything to have someone of his courage, intellect, and dignity as the leader of my country.
At about 5' 4" -- he stands a giant. I'm 5'2" so even I could look him in the eye.
Which I'd very much like to do.

❗️Currently, there are practically meetings, calls, and work on points that can change a lot every hour. It is important that the result is a dignified peace, – Zelenskyy.

Just watched the Jimmy Kimmel/Mark Kelly interview again. The tears stung my eyes. Raw courage makes me emotional. It humbles me.
I think that every parent on earth should watch that interview, or ANY Volodymy Zelensky interview, with their kids and say about all three of these men:
Be. Like Them.

Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less travelled by
And that has made all the difference

My dad, Rodney Waters, and I at Christmas time. Another person I really miss at this time of year. I didn't really get how intelligent he was until we were playing Scrabble once and he was coming up with these legitimate words that NOBODY knows! He was curious about everything.

My grandma, Barbara Thompson. Christmas time circa 1950's. She taught grammar to school children immigrated from Scandinavia. An extremely intelligent person. Not an easy life, but she had this incredible sweetness about her which just drew eveyone in.
She gave me a love for language. I miss her.
