It moved me. It really did. Afte...Brenda Ma'am,<br />It moved me. It really did. After 63 years and you can still remember! All because of the desire to say 'thank you' that you had felt before which is now triggered off by the word 'thankfulness'. <br /><br />I sincerely hope Elaine is around to see your poem. I pray that she does, wherever she is. Where are you Elaine? <br /><br />( Elaine may have related this episode to someone else and hopefully that person reads your poem) Just pray, and in the spirit of Thanksgiving it may just be answered!kaykualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240206222973305395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-24234392330055731352010-11-26T17:21:53.564+11:002010-11-26T17:21:53.564+11:00This is a lovely story.

We saw so much in the Newsreels at the movies. I bet you would love to read http://renieburghardtsworld.blogspot.com<BR/>She sometimes writes things that happened to her during the war before her Grandparents and her were able to escape to America.<BR/><BR/>Things were rationed here in the states, my Father was in the Navy, and Uncle was a gunner riding in the bubble of an airplane, they both came home alive. A Great Uncle was never found, only his dog tags, they assumed he was blown up with his tank.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your story. I do hope you and Elaine were able to remain friends over the years.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.com
