It is nice to read you had such a positive and loving view while you were in such a difficult moment.

Thankfulness

As a World War II veteran, I served as a dental assistant in hospital that went to Japan a week or so after the bomb was dropped. After visiting a family and having dinner with them and not understanding much of the conversation, I was impressed with their hospitality and friendliness because I was (in reality) a part of the enemy. This experience taught me the common sense of being thankful for all our creator has given me for the years of living with many different people and ideals.
