And I know how good you are at communicating with your grandkids. They are in good hands!<br /><br />Mary, from your book The Reverend Mother's Daughter I recall you have quite a few memories of the war. I was amazed at that book and how well you remembered. I too can't imagine going through tragic events without the anchor of my faith.

Yes one of my vivid memories is, as a child in the south of England when a German plane flew low firing at me and my terrified playmates.<br /><br />Today we are hearing of more tragic events happening around the world. We have to be thankful we know the one who knows all.Mary Hasketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572995553600590934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789541.post-77612706820112957262012-09-12T07:29:38.254-07:002012-09-12T07:29:38.254-07:00Hi Violet, I do remember most of those days, &...Hi Violet, I do remember most of those days, & have passed on what stories I have to my children. I was a toddler on VE day, but my mother's story is that the sirens rang all day in our little town, causing both delight for some & suffering for others whose loved ones wouldn't be coming home. I agree with the 9-11, that the students in our school don't remember. The oldest were toddlers then & a few only remember that their parents were upset. It's their history now. I enjoyed your post, & seeing the photo of the special statue.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
