7. Your words are a true comfort!!!

I will re-read them again and again in order to keep an even and hopefully positive perspective. My mother was a big reader, I'm not as much. I remember the book you mentioned in one of our huge bookshelves "The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich". It was big and black and I attempted to read it as a teenager but I think I should read it again, 50 years later.

I KNOW I will re-read all of your posts tonight and tomorrow, to keep my head straight. I need to read stuff several times since my comprehension is slow and I try very hard to understand what I am reading and "absorbing".

History makes me sad when I see it repeating itself, as most people do. But history is knowledge and I really do try to educate myself. It's a life long process but it seems that you and I are on the right track. I'm grateful for that, more than you know!
