Yes, I've been hyper aware of it since I lost my grandma in 1979. Was definitely unaware prior to that. She had so much to share and at 23 years old, I was living my life and thought there was time. And then she was gone.

And it's no just people, it's the environment around where I live. The woods north of me is gone, the land south of me polluted with Roundup. They keep building houses on the 7th best growing land in the world. Or paving it, across the river....

I guess I'll stop there....
