I am sorry you had to experience this...I have gone back and forth on how I feel about the death penalty...I am sure as you did...the feeling from families is emptiness..and if nothing else..closure. It doesn’t bring back the lives they took from the families who loved them....
I am glad that in Florida, they abolished the electric chair...and now, they use lethal injection.
I have always admired her, for the ability to laugh at herself....She is a great writer of songs..but, even will admit when someone makes it a hit..that she had a much better voice...
She gives much back to the community she calls home...She pays for college for many of her employees at her theme park.
True story....my son-in-law lost his wallet while we were at Dollywood a few years ago..He did not realize it, until after the park was closed....The next day..he went to lost and found..his wallet was there...with his debit card, credit cards, and the $500 still in it...I don’t think that would be the case in Florida...
I want to add, I do not blame any groups for the loss of the traditional family. We have no one to blame but ourselves...Maybe, it is time to self-reflect and put the blame where it lies.
The younger people I deal with at my job treat me with respect. It is the older men and women, who are bitter and angry at the world....Something to think about....
My mother was given drugs throughout her labor...and, knocked out in the delivery room with all 3 of her births....The doctor used forceps with each of her deliveries too.
When I became pregnant with my first....she did not even know about what happened to the afterbirth..she thought the cord went back up into her..kinda like those vacuum cleaner cords...
The doctor tried to give gas with my first...I refused it...I also refused to have my legs and arms tied down while giving birth. He relented and let me give birth naturally....
My husband was not allowed in the delivery room with our first child..But, he did get to see the birth of our second and third child....No drugs..the lamaze breathing....
I have seen all 3 of my grandchildren come into the world....My oldest daughter..no drugs.. My youngest opted for an epidural for both her births...
Breastfeeding was looked down on in the 50s and 60s...Now, we tend to shame those who do not want to breastfeed..
As for homemade formula....It has been proven to cause very policy babies..and digestive problems...
Times change..and thankfully..not all women or men think we are weak.
