You definitely have more to say on the subject, and I would be keen to read more of this. My godfather was Dutch, and grew up in concentration camps. He died when I was sixteen, but I will never forget his stories of early life. Your post reminded me of that. In memory these worlds live on. In writing, they can potentially be remembered forever. Write on, dear sister.Leigh K Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874542398572601819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375462978569313773.post-91070880034123269802011-06-01T08:11:08.851-07:002011-06-01T08:11:08.851-07:00Wow!

I'm touched by the responses this post triggered.<br /><br />@Ruth, Thank you for visiting and for leaving a comment, it's good to know you get your ZZZZZs elsewhere, please do come back!<br /><br />@Lia, When I first read your note I was overwhelmed by the acknowledgement of my family's situation. I wouldn't have characterized our situation as living under "emotional poverty". The notion that you do triggers a lot of thoughts, helps me to see more trees I couldn't see for the forest. Thank you!<br /><br />@Shelley, You're words often form a puzzle, the pieces complete, and yet I need to separate them to see the total picture. Sometimes the solving is in the making :-) Thank you!<br /><br />@Mary Lou, the picture you paint is peaceful, in the moment, a great place to be. And yes, one log line can't pull the treasure trove I call my own. Thank you for your encouragement!<br /><br />@Kim, Ah, Dear Ms.Dragonfly, I feel our connection, it's thrilling.<br /><br />@just-Cassie, Thank your for your compassionate words. There's riches in experience, no matter what.<br /><br />@Elizabeth, Thank you for visiting and for leaving words of acknowledgement and support.Judith van Praaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113677919729425142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375462978569313773.post-81878213603905892422011-05-31T20:37:16.571-07:002011-05-31T20:37:16.571-07:00Judith,

You may not have finished your story but you struck an emotional chord. Sometimes that is the only thing we can hope for. To reach out and connect with someone else.
