Funeral

Last Saturday was Dad's funeral. Everything went well, but it's still hard. My son took it pretty hard and I understood why. Yes, he is sad about grandpa being gone, but he's also very angry, but maybe not for the reason you might think.

Adam is angry because, for all the sacrifices grandpa and all of his generation made in WWII, here we are now on the verge of losing everything they fought for. To be more exact, we are not losing our freedoms we are giving them away in the name of security. However, as Benjamin Franklin said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. "

Freedom comes with a price.
