I knew one of the Lost who witnessed the "Awakening" and she was not happy about it at all. It is ironic that she knew it was going to turn out band ended up seeing more of it than she wanted to. She had about a dozen great-grandchildren and watched all but one of them become adults because that last one was a Millie. You are right about those who died earlier but it wasn't a picnic for those who lived.
The only good thing from my point of view is that she was able to tell me the truth about things the Boomers were lying about. You have no idea how much trouble she saved me.
In case you are wondering, this is who I am talking about:
