I’ve been so lucky to have two wonderful men in my life. My first husband died when I was 55. For six months, I did nothing but work, come home, feed the cats, and go to sleep. It got to the point where I realized that I was either going to rejoin the living, or I was going to crawl in a hole and die. I mentioned to a friend that I was about ready to ‘get out there’ again, and she told me about a friend named Ted that she wanted me to meet. He was also a widower. I never thought I’d fall in love again. Certainly not that quickly. But Ted and I got along so well that two months later we were engaged. Ted has never felt threatened by my love for my first husband. On the ten-year anniversary of his death, Ted helped me organize a memorial. And that meant so much to me. But he doesn’t come to Mets’ games with me. He’s a Yankees fan.”

This one is important to me because my mom was married for seven years and he passed away in a car accident and we both were very devastated about it and It gives me hope that she can be happy again and maybe get Married again.

Current event #4

The topic of my article is about a food shortage. The title of my article is “The American Food shortages you knew nothing about”. I found this article on offthegridnews.com.  The United States simply is not growing enough vegetables to meet its needs, data collected by the USDA’s Economic Research Service indicates.
Around 1.65 cups of vegetables were available per person per day in the United States in 2013, even though dietary guidelines recommends person consume 2.5 to 3 cups of vegetables a day, NPR reported, using government data. This of course effects me because I’m a human in America and I feel like this should worry the citizens.  We should be doing all we can to fix this problem. This also effects the world in many many ways by causing us to not be able to eat all the vegetables we should be. The world I feel will now pay more attention to this event.  We should all come together and make a change.

The topic of my article is a shooting. The title of my article “Father of Umpqua college shooting victim: Gunman singled out Christians.” I found this article on cnn.com.  Thursday, October 1st, a shooting at a community college in Oregon, a total of 10 people were shot and killed.  There are also a handful of people injured and put in hospitals to be taken care of. This shooting was a very traumatic event.  This event effects me in a way that will cause me to feel not as safe as I should in my school. It makes me feel sad for all the lives lost or injured. These kind of events should be taken very seriously in my opinion I feel like school shootings have happened way to many times and I feel we should be trying to fix this more than we are. This event also effects the world by changing the lives of all the families that lost their loved ones. Students should feel safe at their school not scared for their lives. School security will for sure be bumped up and taken more seriously. People were still recovering from the Last public shooting, like the movie theater shooting that just happened a little over a year ago.
