My dad was a lumberman who worked hard and did not show much fear. he was part of the liberation of Holland and was wounded and let others go to the hospital before him. My hand disaapeared in his and when he passed away, people lined the street as we passed as he commanded so much respect. The other is my mom. She is a true survivor and values freedom which we take for granted. She grew up under Hitler (whom she met and after wish she had a bomb with her). She survived the bombings of Hamburg and Dresden, She almost disappeared into Russia if she did not escape. She survived gang rape (by the initial Russian takeover), starvation, the loss of 2 brothers and escaped into West Germany and later brought food to her parents many times into the east before she brought her farther out ( he was in first german camps and then after Russian Camps). Just recently I found out that, with her brother and some other young people she helped blow up bridges against the German army (she is german) to try to stop the war. She put the TNT under the bridges. She survived a major head trauma and was 9 motnsh in the hospital relearning how to walk and talk. She came to Canada in 1956 with a little over $3.00 in her pocket. She now has dementia which stems from that head injury but she can still recall the past. When we complain of a bad day I just think of my parents and the love they gave me despitye all the hardships they went through and I am humbled Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-24712904226341191992013-10-24T11:36:59.506-04:002013-10-24T11:36:59.506-04:00Congrats, Rachel!!
