What a sweet story of your family. I could relate with tears in my eyes thinking of my parents and grandparents who were very family oriented as well. Thanks for sharing your lovely story.

Very sweet memories. Many many people in this country love their families and love their memories. My childhood was great because our Italian extended family lived in a town house building in Brooklyn owned by my grandfather who was the glue for all of us allowed us the freedom of open door visits any time we wanted to .

We loved each other all of us. Christmas and Easter were favorites as well as all of our birthdays celebrated altogether along with friends and cousins aunts uncles and it was marvelous.

The problems that existed did not rule our lives. My grandparents just kept going. We grandchildren absolutely loved them and we saw each other every day. They lived on the first floor apartment. My mom and dad and brother on second floor apartment and my aunt Katy (mom’s sister and her husband Joe and their two daughters lived in the third floor apartment.

We went everywhere together. Beaches amusement parks museums food markets with tons of Italian delicacies parks parades etc.

my grandfather was a hero of sorts for many Italians because of helping people who were being abused or bullied. He was visited by so many people who loved him that as a child I was constantly meeting Italians who forever thanked him remembered how he helped them. I understood Italian fluently because I practically lived with my grandparents

We eventually moved to the suburbs and when they passed away I literally couldn’t go to their funerals. I just couldn’t say goodbye. When my parents died I had to bury them with all the courage I could. And when you mentioned the gift of older people I can attest to the fact that it’s even more important than that. I am in fact who I am because of their examples the way they lived their lives , their love their knowledge, and their courage. I am married for 32 years our son just got married last month in our back yard.

We are living the American dream thanks to my grandparents leaving Sicily in the early 1900s.

I taught special ed in public schools for decades and brought my Italian family culture to life for many children who could never know that kind of bond but they felt my love for them and that was all good.

So thank you for your memories because my memories were sweet too.

Btw I still visit all their graves and light candles for them on the anniversary of their deaths.

Someday we will all meet again and that love will be there heaven and that day will also be just grand.

Thank you so much Ginger! I love your mother’s beautiful countenance! The way she deals with turmoil…the imaginary balloon that is popped by an imaginary pin! Thank you for blessing us with this tribute to her. She is truly divine.

Yes, for the seat of wisdom is the heart, and many people are heartless.

I understand. It seems that what Canada offers to my generation, those of us in our seventies, is MAiD (Bill C-390). I've experienced firsthand how appalling this is during my attempt to complete a third Ph.D. I faced contempt, bullying, sabotage, and ultimately, cancellation. (The WEF-UN wants to cancel us and the values you cherished in your essay.)

See my interview below.

Peter, Ginger and your mother are among my biggest heroes!

My thoughts about everything in the world and I have no nuts and bolts solutions. Can't say this often enough! THESE WEF MONSTERS RUNNING THE WORLD NEED TO BE DEPOPULATED OFF THE PLANET! I just want to be free to do my SPREAD THE YOGA LOVE performances at 69 challenging ageism and technocracy daily!

I have a landline and a wired laptop and a wired monitor screen, all the tech anyone should ever want or need. I never had and refuse to ever have one of those infernal mobile devices that are designed to enslave you.

There is a fate worse than death - I would rather die than be a robotized slave of technocratic overlords! This is my hill to die on!

My loathing of AI and all things NANO and digital knows no bounds!

How I stick my thumb in the eyes of the grotesque billionaire bastards pushing their enslavement agenda and how I embrace being fully human.

Fighting the globalist predator technocrat psychopath megalomaniac TOTAL SLAVERY AGENDA one performance at a time!

Amazing Amy: Eccentric Yoga Entertainer!

As an entertainer, I have been devastated and practically destroyed by the closure of all performance venues and then when they reopened, because MY BODY, MY CHOICE - being made a total untermenschen pariah outcast in NAZI NIGHTMARE LAWLESS 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' JAB CROW APARTHEID/DISCRIMINATION/SEGREGATION HELL NYC WHERE THE MAD/DRUNK WITH POWER TYRANT POLS DOUBLE DOWN ON THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES. I am trapped here with zero financial resources to leave or do anything else about this 'wish I were dead' endless misery life has become. The tragic irony is that my SPREAD THE YOGA LOVE performances are all about health, miraculously overcoming age (69) and injury to achieve feats of flexibility few can attain at any age. So BIG PHARMA who wants to addict every person on the planet to their toxic products hate people like me who prove that we do not need them if we eat healthy organic food and exercise daily!

I try and live and embody the creative performing artistic world and life I so fervently want existence to be about.

It's always since the dawn of history, been about using knowledge for power and control by the psycho portion of the human population that learned how to manipulate 'normies' to obey them in their power-mad power trips.

THEY can't get rid of the 'useless eaters' fast enough! Mistakes were not made, it was always malice aforethought.

In these modern times, this evil has become TECHNOCRACY, the vilest threat to the existence of all life on earth since forever!

EW! GROSS! HELL NO! https://www.technocracy.news

NOT MY BRAIN/MIND! NOT MY BODY! NO WAY, NO HOW, NOT PLAYING YOUR AI QUANTUM STUPID-ASS VIDEO GAMES! I AM LIVING IN THE REAL WORLD CREATING ART AND PERFORMANCES!

The more I learn about this stuff, the more sickened, nauseated and horrified I get, and I wonder what kind of inhuman psychopath loonies make this crap and want to use it!?

THIS IS PURE SATANIC EVIL! IT IS MEANT TO DESTROY BILLIONS OF YEARS OF CREATION IN THE ATTEMPT OF TOTAL SLAVERY CONTROL BY POWER-MAD PSYCHOS!

I DO NOT COMPLY! NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL! May more and more wake up and resist and cultivate their health.

SCREW THE FEAR FAKERY! NO TRUSTING THE WEF RULING CLASS EVER!

Reiterating for the sake of newbies and to support this post.

I have no fear of 'germs' or 'viruses'. One of the best places to go for reality: https://virustruth.net

I try to live without fear! Fear is the mind-killer!

PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGNS BY POWERFUL, WEALTHY CRIMINALS WITH EVIL INTENT CAN CAUSE ALL KINDS OF HAVOC! QUESTION EVERYTHING!

And these, the criminals behind the NAC and all the other schemes will use hypochondria hysteria and 'climate' hysteria to propagandize the gullible 'sheeple' into complying with TOTAL ENSLAVEMENT which is what this is really about!

A vast majority of so-called leaders and Public 'Serpents' around the world have been bribed, blackmailed/coerced into serving the interests of their technocratic New World Ordure parasite masters and not We the People.

GREED is behind every evil assailing us in the world!

The demonic despots of Davos at it again! They are behind everything bad! At it for decades and cronies like The Rothschilds and the Black Nobility and The Khazarian Mafia have been plotting planetary domination for centuries! ALL BECAUSE OF AVARICE!

We the People must try harder to live by The Golden Rule, doing so would solve most problems!

AUTISM TSUNAMI/SADS/TURBO CANCER/BIZARRE TERMINAL ILLNESSES: More tragic victims of the ruling parasite genocidal enslavement agenda, sacrificed on the altar of psychopathic greed and hatred of humanity.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVEN WORSE FRAUD THAN THE PLANSCAMDEMIC! SO-CALLED GREEN TECH IS A GIGANTIC SCAM! MINING AND MANUFACTURING 'GREEN' PRODUCTS NEEDS COAL, GAS AND OIL AND MINING RARE MINERALS IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY TOXIC AND DESTRUCTIVE THAN LEGACY PRODUCTS. SCREW YOUR DAMNED AGENDA! https://climateviewer.com

Migrant/Entrant Invasion/Infrastructure Attacks - all part of the destructive plot to achieve total slavery!

Apoplectic livid rage hardly describes the intensity of emotions I have had and am having over what these malignant globalists are perpetrating!

There is no noxious crime that the evildoers desiring to lord it over us won't commit to maintain their stranglehold on power. A groundswell critical mass resistance to their murderous enslavement plans is needed urgently!

Creative performing arts, fine arts and literary arts are the best part of being human and the thing the globalist predator technocrat megalomaniac total slavery control freaks most want to destroy.

Too many 'sheeple' are brainwashed to blindly obey authority figures on the media or in daily life in a corrupt system ruled by control freak psychopaths who use propaganda lies to enslave their subjects and they are dumbed down to be obedient by 'education' institutions. Fortunately I was raised to question everything. This transcends party lines. We need a system that punishes psychopaths and rewards compassion and sharing, we need a system that actually follows The Constitution in reality.

Kudos to Dr. Peter and Ginger Breggin's heroic efforts and success in the struggle. We the People must always be aware of the existential threats lurking behind this fight!

They can stick their f*cking damned NANO, Digital IDs, AI, jabs and chips up their asses where the sun don't shine!

All manner of lies and propaganda spew forth from the upper echelons in governments worldwide who are completely intertwined with the global criminal ruling class that wants to commit the worst atrocities imaginable and suffer no consequences. And their corruption slithers down the chain of command creating petty tyrants everywhere.

We the People are facing HORRIFYING TECHNOCRATIC PSYCHOPATHY TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND ALL NATURAL LIFE!

It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back!

We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.

There is an insidious global ruling class plot to enslave all life on earth behind all the madness and suffering inflicted on We the People.

How to fight back against this TOTAL SLAVERY!

RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! DITCH THE DAMNED 'SMART' PHONES AND THE DAMNED QR CODES AND GO BACK TO LANDLINES OR FLIP PHONES AND USE CASH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! INSIST ON CASH! CBDC IS TOTAL SLAVERY!

Other than getting rid of nuclear weapons which I support 100% the rest of the anti-nuclear peace movement and CLIMATE CRISIS propaganda is parroting UN utter GARBAGE, a complete surrender to the ENSLAVEMENT AGENDA by the diabolical despots of Davos - ruling class criminals who lust for total power and control and all of whom should be tried and jailed for life and their malign organizations dismantled: the UN, the WEF, the IMF, the WHO, the BIS, NATO, Blackrock, Vanguard, The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, The Bilderbergers, the CFR et al.

There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES! WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms. A more demonic sickening idea is nearly impossible to imagine!

APPALLED AND HORRIFIED AT INSANE TYRANNICAL PROTOCOLS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TOTALITARIAN CONTROL! REVERSE THIS NOW!

MAKE THE WORLD AND AMERICA 2019 (comparatively speaking), AND FREE AGAIN!

NO, I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE MORONIC SCARIANT SHMARIANT MONKEYSHINES! WAKE UP ALREADY!

TOTALLY CONDEMN BIDEN AND ALL OTHER POLS WHO HAVE NO POWER TO LAWLESSLY ACT LIKE AN EMPEROR OR DICTATOR AND DECREE JAB CROW 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' FASCIST SEGREGATION/DISCRIMINATION/APARTHEID VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE NUREMBERG CODES AND EVERY CIVIL RIGHT IMAGINABLE.

NO GREEN NEW DEALS OR BUILD BACK BETTER FROM THE CRIMINAL TECHNOCRAT TYRANTS KLAUS SCHWAB AND HIS CRONIES FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.

STOP THE TERRIBLE TYRANNY OF THE TECHNOCRATS GLOBAL AGENDA OF TOTAL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL USING THE VIRUS AS EXCUSE AND PROPAGANDA TOOL!

NO MUZZLING STIFLING MASK MANDATES! NO FORCED VACCINES! END TORTUROUS DEVASTATING LOCK DOWNS NOW! I WANT MY LIFE BACK.

Very nice article... I echo the sentiment as a millennial being partly raised by my grandparents who were members of the greatest generation (yes, if you have 2 generations who have kids later in life,a millennial can have grandparents all born before 1920). I was fortunate enough to have three out the four make it into their nineties. Members of that generation know these government parlor tricks... I really believe part of the motive to isolate those in care centers during covid was to silence their knowledge. The few I know now are over 100... And have said that the present day is far more scary than 1930s Germany, etc. as far as propaganda and the media go.

agree.

My mom passed away at age 96 in 2016. Both of my parents lived in the Netherlands during WW2. My mom had scarlet fever at age 19. She survived.

My point is, my mother would have NEVER bought into the covid hoax. She would have never worn a mask or isolated. I am a lot like her....

Thanks for the beautiful story, Ginger. Our foolish society cannot appreciate what the elderly have to offer.

The strengths of youth are energy, health and beauty.

The strengths of the elderly are patience, wisdom, and memories.

I notice that whenever our culture has tried to fight ageism, they use TV shows or movies depicting the elderly as reckless and promiscuous to show that old age is not that bad. (Golden Girls. Grumpy Old Men.) "See. Seniors are great. They're just like stupid, horny teenagers but with wrinkles."

I guess that's easier than Hollywood trying to depict wisdom or patience in a positive light.

Thank you, Ginger, for sharing this story - it's very heart warming.

Your mom is very fortunate to have family that cares for her and lets her live with them. Too many people end up in nursing homes.

Best wishes,

Bill
