Today on the way home from the zoo (gorgeous fall day by-the-way) we were listening to The Story. While we only heard the last 15 minutes, it almost made me want to cry. It was about a lady whose mom was in the Holocaust (I think...) and her attempt to find any relatives. Having a mom who has done genealogy for the majority of my life and knowing the work that she has put into researching her family, I can't imagine how much harder it had been for the person from The Story. I'll provide links and such later.
She made a comment about not feeling like she just appeared anymore, feeling like there was some validity to her life. That made me think of Fresh Air from Monday when Rosemary Cash (I think that's her name...again I'll do research later) talked about her battle with a brain tumor and feeling angry at her parents for not being there for her and feeling so alone because she didn't have that connection to anyone right then because no matter how old you get sometimes you still want your parents there with you.
Just interesting how these two programs intersected in my mind. Oh my crazy way of thinking!
