If you could fast forward a year, what would you want to know about 2022?

I would want to know if my finances were finally straight,all the repairs needed on my home are going to be completed and overall good health and happiness for my myself and my family. I want to see my son finally home and safe.

The state of relation ships between Americans seems terrible now at the end of 2021. I would love to know that Americans have made strong advances to bring us all closer, in spite of personal, cultural, religious and political difficulties. (If it is not going to happen and you have the foresight to know, do not tell me).

is it over yet

The past three years have been incredibly difficult. I lost my Mom and mother-in-law in 2018. I moved in with my Dad to care for him after Mom's death as he had Alzheimer's and suffered from PTSD. This February he lost his battle. The day after Christmas I lost my brother-in-law to cancer. I was a caregiver to all four of these family members and was with them when they took their final breathes. My spouse was diagnosed with Frontal Temporal Lobe Dementia while I was caring for my Dad for which there is no treatment nor cure. I now care for them. I seem to have been shrouded in the death of so many I hold dear and I cannot seem to grieve the loss of one as another one passes. I want to remain hopeful that the new year will be one of healing, one free of the passing of yet another loved one. I want to have a year where I can once again feel a moment of joy and have time to fondly remember my Mom, Dad, Mother-in-Law, and Brother-in-Law.

I would like people to remember that like all other causes of crisis, this virus will also become a manageable thing, like the more common variety of influenza. There is no reason for the protests against masking or getting an immunization. If you don't want to, it is your choice. It is also the merchant's choice to request that employees and customers follow extra safety protocols. I for one hope that the employee is washing their hands and doesn't come to work when sick. My doctor's office takes everyone's temperature and gives them a disposable mask.

Will the U.S. pipelines be opened up once again bring fuel prices back down. We need to be energy independent again!

Will our U.S. pipelines be opened up again so the fuel prices will come down. We need to be oil independent again.

I, like I am sure so many others, would love to see the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and a movement towards our new "normal". I do not think that we will ever go back to the way the world was in 2019, and I hoping that any progression made will be positive, rather than negative. The last two years have truly tried humanity as a civilization, and I would love to see 2022 provide humanity with a break from all the strife and movement towards global success.

2022 will be great for the Military. We will have voted in midterm elections. We will still be in a pandemic and restrictions will apply. However towards the end of the year more people will be vaccinated and have had at least one booster. I want to know will I be able to see my specialist such as a neurologist, gynecologist, urologist, dermatologist, and my hope is I will qualify for dental to help with severe pain with gum disease. The VA in Bloomington is wonderful and I’m hoping to see a doctor in person instead of virtually. Although it is difficult to get to Indianapolis VA, they have great service. Overall I am really hoping 2022, I will have housing, reliable transportation, and better financial skills. Thank you for asking, Veteran Elizabeth A Edwards

I'd like to know about 2022, that our Veterans are off the streets just as I was & turned my life to Jesus, Christ & is a great life today from an addiction that had me down, but no longer!!! Some are just down due to covid issues & some just need a little lift in life.
