Life Awaits By Connie Schultz

On Dec. 29, I became one day older than my mother on the day she died.

I did not go to bed until I could say this out loud.

At the stroke of midnight, I turned to my husband and said, "Today—"

He finished my sentence, in the softest tone. "You have outlived your mother," Sherrod said. "Here's to many years to come."

We are embarking on the 2020 campaign year, which will be the worst we've experienced because the man running for reelection is the most dangerous president in American history. Nevertheless, I remain optimistic because most people love this country more than Trump, including you.

None of us knows how much time we have on this earth, but each of us gets to decide how we will use what's left of it.

I have now lived three days longer than my mother on the day she died. Every day is a gift, and just like you, I have to figure out how best to use it.

We're alive, my friends. Happy New Year.

Always love reading her column. Her & Sherrod are either the most down to Earth people or the world's greatest actors, and no thespian could stay in character this long.
