Suffering a lot when I was a child helps me to survive the coronavirus era now

 Why?

Because life wasn't easy then in many ways in the 1950s growing up. However, suffering for children was a much more normal thing for children to endure then in the U.S. than now. People were much more ignorant then book learning wise. Like as a child I didn't have an Iphone to ask any question I had about anything. What did I have to do then to learn about something I wanted to know about?

Well. First I might ask my Grandmother who lived with us who was there at the house usually every day because caring for me and my mother and father was what she did 24 hours a day every day. She was born in 1888 in Philadelphia and when their family home burned down she and her 10 or 11 brothers and sisters all had to move back to Glascow, Scotland where they grew up before they all returned eventually to the U.S. I met most of them still alive in 1952 when I was 4 years old in Vista because they loaded up into 2 cars and came out from Nebraska to California to visit their sister Margaret my Grandmother. So, I got to meet all the ones still alive then that were all born in the late 1800s from about the 1870s to around 1900.

But, the main thing that I find helpful in surviving the Coronavirus era is the blue collar upbringing I experienced that started out sort of lower middle class and then we became middle Class when my father became an Electrical Contractor when I was 12 years old and he made more money then so we always had new cars after that instead of ones 10 years old or more. However, they always made sure I owned at least one bicycle from the time I was 5 years old in El Cajon, California.

Suffering was whooping cough and a concussion that gave me seizures at night for about 5 years from 10 to 15 years of age and then leaving my childhood church I was born into at 21 and breaking up with 2 girls (either of which I might have married but I really wasn't emotionally ready for that and only barely was at age 25 and 26 when my son was born to my first wife.

Also, the suffering all of you are enduring now will also help you survive future deaths and calamities in your lives too. This is something to think about also.

All this is making you a survivor of future difficult experiences you might have in the future.

So, as bad as this is it has made you a survivor because if you are reading this it means you didn't die in 2020 Doesn't it?
