Democratic Underground Forums - My Father's "Failure," and Other Reasons for Hope
A blogger named glaucon posted this about hope, it is a good read and it touched me--so give it a click:
"This past election and our slow, seemingly inevitable sidle toward the "darkness at the edge of town," coupled with my father's decline, his recent 80th birthday, his "failures" in life, and his looming death, have led me to a brooding meditation of late.

I am not the sentimental type, so rest assured that I do not intend to regale you with whimsical tales. But perhaps you have fathers (or mothers, or siblings, or uncles, etc.) like mine and, if so, I doubt any apologies will be requested for posting this here".
