20. You made me emotional (verklempt a la SNL)

Sat May 31, 2025, 08:01 PM

May 31

with your disclosure that you served in Ukraine. I'm Slavic descent and both maternal and paternal grandparents had the prescience to leave Czechoslovakia in the early 1900's to make a life here.

Not because Ukraine is a Slavic nation, but yes, they are brothers and sisters, many of the Orthodox Christian Faith. However, I grieve for any human being suffering at the hands of others. All of whom created in the Image of God. His Crown of Creation. Any human being.

So, I am grateful for your presence, words of wisdom and encouragement wherever thsy appear.
