I didn’t know my dream retirement plan until now—thanks for the inspiration! Time to start looking into bookstores (by the sea, of course) and reading up on frog spells.

They’re also kicking NPR to make space for Breitbart Radio?! Absolutely unbelievable.

That being said, I don't mean to minimize how hard it is for many, including us. I would feel less overwhelmed if I knew that my son would continue to lead a comfortable and rewarding life after I can no longer care for him. Not knowing that is painful.

My adult son will always need round-the-clock support. Someday, we might find a better way to manage his anxiety, which can tip over into aggression. But "fine" doesn't have to mean approaching normalcy. For us, things became "fine" when we accepted life as it is and focused on loving each other.

I’m also concerned for the many Americans whose well-being relies on the essential work provided by these federal employees.
