I could have read on forever!<br />I know how terrible life was in the former "Ostblock", and I also know that people were shot without warning when they tried to esvape to make a better life for themselves and their families. Heck, even people from Eastern Germany were murdered while trying to leg it, and that took place up until 1989. <br />These things are easily forgotten, even people from Eastern Germany now tend to forget when they remark how hard life in the unified Germany often seems to be.<br />I have never experienced oppression dashed out by my government (neither in Germany nor in England), and I cannot begin to comprehend how terrible it must be if people are willing to expose themselves to mortal danger just to get the hell out of there.<br />I am so happy for you that you have that little clover and beautiful, beautiful memories of your brave, proud, amazing father. <br />You inspire me to cherish what I have- so much I take for granted where I shouldn't.
