💔 my daughters are 50% Ukrainian. Their paternal grandparents were taken by the Nazzis during WWII. Although they survived, both of them used for their youth in labor camps, they both died very young from the extreme abuse their bodies endured. They did manage to find safety for their children when the US took them in as displaced persons…although ultimately orphaned way too early….this is beyond heartbreaking…the madness of evil continues among us seeking destruction….

There are no words…just no words. I read that there is talk about reinstituting the draft here in the US. I immediately thought of my 25 yr old son. An animal-like moan escaped from my throat and I started crying, sitting in my car, in the parking lot of a grocery store. At the same time, I felt guilty. Who am I to worry about such a thing when people are being traumatized and dying? Thoughts about Poland being invaded by Germany in 1939 were swimming around in my mind. People who, in 1939, did not leave, people who said “It won’t last, it will be ok, just wait it out.” Those poor people still believed that humanity would win the day. What traumatizes me the most are the faces of the little kids. I see them in my sleep. Why don’t human beings learn from the past? Why do they make the same mistakes over and over and over again? I used to say the animal I am most afraid of is a human being. Man’s inhumanity to man.

I am beyond despondent over all of this and like Jackie … the children the babies from hospitals in a bunker under ground with monitors hooked up manual oxygen… I am crying now why can’t we get it right the 21st century and we are still doing this primitive thing I am devastated and exhausted and sad the draining effects of Covid and all it brought now this …. It is so beyond comprehension for me

Not sure what to say – the comments, above, and the photos and words of this post say it better than I can.
Sometimes all I can do is pray; often feels like it’s not enough, but I do it anyway.
The courage of Ukrainian citizens is amazing. -
It’s so very sad for all the people of the Ukraine.
God bless them all
My prayers are with them all -
My heart is broken.

Oh,dear Lord. I just can’t keep the tears away. I am 83 years, old and was a child during WW2. Never in all of my life, did I expect to see something so horrendous happen again in my lifetime. God help these brave people, God help us all…
