ON BEING COURAGEOUS

“My father continues to give me courage. He was a humble farmer and is now 99 years old, and in the past seven months he’s been a great advisor. He’s not traditionally educated but with just a few sentences he can often teach me a lot based on his past. He said in 1945 he had been at war for five years, but as soon as the war was over he had nothing but he had joy and hope. He was once again able to flirt with the ladies because for five years he could not have the pleasure to flirt with somebody. He can still hear the sirens from the bombings in those five years he suffered. I compare it to what we are going through now and it gives me perspective. The vaccine is coming in a few months and my father says what is two months in relation to a lifetime?”
