I thought of my sons and the future. Would they someday read my postcards and think of me? I hope they see me soaring like a bright kite into a big blue sky, happy and adventurous, going wherever the wind takes me.

The crazy thing about firing all of these federal employees is that they tend to be underpaid, super hardworking, in it for the right reasons, idealistic people who could’ve worked in industry or pharma and made way more money but they truly believed in the mission and the good they were doing.
