Lela, It's hard to read those words without feeling the weight of what's ahead. Thinking about the future, especially one so uncertain, can stir a mix of emotions—frustration, resignation, perhaps a touch of dark humor. But behind those feelings, there’s still a shared hope, a belief in the possibility that maybe, just maybe, we can change course. It's a daunting task, but it's the only way forward for all of us—those who will be here and those who won’t.
