Writing down those feelings and sensations from a time so foreign to our children will be priceless to them in the future.<br /><br />I lived in Germany in 1989 when the Berlin Wall came down. Though I was privileged to live on the free side and knew little first-hand of the suffering of those who lived under communism, I remember the sheer joy and elation we all felt when the Wall came down and all of the former Soviet countries began to declare their freedom. We were glued to our televisions and I had the opportunity to visit the Berlin wall and chip out my own piece to keep as a reminder not to take freedom for granted.<br /><br />I'm sorry I haven't responded to your email yet. I wanted to take the time to give you a well thought-out response, but I've had so many distractions with my children! I will work on that and reply soon!<br /><br />Ilaria is absolutely darling holding onto the straps of her big package!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587050097177200147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943845454990215332.post-66580310566203951402010-10-27T15:57:19.435+03:002010-10-27T15:57:19.435+03:00How wonderful that you see the joy in receiving a ...How wonderful that you see the joy in receiving a parcel!<br />I know that I love to receive them, too but I will not take them for granted now. I never thought that in some parts of the world people don't always receive or didn't used to receive, unopened parcels.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602391401030887183noreply@blogger.com
