I am thrilled this is happening in MY lifetime. 15 years ago, I read:
Nothing in This Book Is True, but It's Exactly How Things Are

Within a week, I took my kids, then 9 & 12, out for a spin in the convertible, with the top down, and matter of factly told them of the Alien presence, and told them Contact would happen in their lifetime, and they should mentally accept this and prepare. I told them it was a toss-up as to whether it would happen in my lifetime.
I called my daughter a couple weeks ago and asked her if she remembered that day, she did. I told her of the announcement, and asked her how she would feel if she looked outside to see a couple dozen alien ships in the sky. She replied she'd be scared. I told her that
her job, since she has been told in advance, is to comfort those around her ON THAT DAY, to reassure them that the aliens come in LOVE, to help us clean up the planet, to aid in ridding our planet of oppressors, and to share clean renewable energy that will not pollute the planet.
Over the last couple weeks I have been sending her links, proof of the alien presence--telling her to save the links till the event--when she will want to have more information for herself and others.
I BELIEVE. I have always believed, and I cannot describe in words how excited I am.
If it does not happen, well, as another poster said: It will happen on another day.
In any event, I am MORE than ready. I'll be outside crying tears of pure Joy, and waving!
