Logan, you are so right on about how quickly life can change but your description of the swing is true writing. Thank you. And Jessica, I agree. What stories people keep "stored" in their minds and hearts are baffling. Thank you for commenting.

WOW!! I was astonished that these beautiful people had never before shared their stories. Whether they were afraid of being judged by others or just had to move on and look toward a brighter future, they were courageous through and through. I am in awe of their strength and determination to make a better life for themselves, knowing they were deserving of that life. I am thankful to have a connected with people who live in our community, contribute to our economy, and hold a higher standard of "LIVING".<br /><br />Thanks to each of you for sharing your life with our children! And thank you Carolyn for pulling all of this together, well done!<br /><br />JessicaThe LoganCodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110603720550791522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762129673010794010.post-46579312180939967852011-01-31T14:26:11.147-08:002011-01-31T14:26:11.147-08:00I think the Greek man's story was very interes...I think the Greek man's story was very interesting. One day he is playing on a man made hill with astro-turf and going to a very good British school and the next day tanks are blowing up buildings. Women couldn't go out on to the street because they were afraid they would get killed. He even had to pull a gun on a man to get water for the people who didn't have the money to buy it and were dying.<br /><br />His push was war and food and water running scarce. His pull to America was a teacher he knew and contacted for help. <br /><br />If I were to pass him in the grocery store I would not have thought he lived through war and poverty. He just seems like a hard working, kind man.<br /> LOGANThe LoganCodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110603720550791522noreply@blogger.com
