Sisgal & Yvette, I am glad you two enjoyed the article. It was just one of those stories that had to be past on. I mean, I really had tears and a big lump in my throat.
I sat back and questioned my feelings, why was I moved, was it inspiration. I would love to sit in a discussion that talked about the shared feeling each experienced while reading the article and afterwards. I know someone would do it justice better than I. Could it be that it's hard for "us" to develope that kind of pride for our country. I didn't feel sorry for her, not one minute, it was something bigger, something deeper. |
