Lest We Forget


When I see the news about war sometimes I can feel so complacent because I don't know anybody who died in a war. I grew up with parents who had lived through the horrors of WWII and heard stories of the Nazis and Dutch Jews going to prison camps. But until it's someone you know, somehow it doesn't seem real. But it doesn't lessen the hardships others have faced because of war. For that I want to say I'm humbled. I don't know the hardships, I only know the stories.

My mom's older sister Katherine was a nurse in the war. She never did come back form te war. We can only assume that she gave her life.
