"Life as We Knew It"

I was just thinking my younger brother and I alone in the house, how life was growing up, now Mom is gone and Dad is dying in the hospital.  What did it all mean?

What about the older days when the world and America was young, before the Generation X depression?  What becomes of days gone by, like the 1800s and 1900s in America?

What I had going for me doesn't go anymore.  I'm 34.

I got sad when I saw something from over a year ago that reminded me of a cute sounding music and computer science major boy I met online.  It reminded me of my nostalgia with music, too.  It was an earlier day, too.  Some things in general were more alive and real.  I had a chance then, if only I could have been swayed the right way.  Instead, hard times.  Things are bleak now.  How sweet and innocent the past once was!

I'm feeling a strange sense of insecurity as I clean and wonder what for as my mom died from cancer in 2018 and my dad is dying now.

My life!
