I mean, I've known at least half a dozen of people with similar stories (minus going away to America, of course). Story about war that had imprinted something on the psyche of every person that went through it. Story of ilness, not necessarily schizophrenia. Story of being distant from and loving a person at once. My grandfather's story is similar, in that way. And yet, so different... <br />Anyway. Thank you for this post. I hope getting it off from you chest gave you some relief.<br /><br />ciao,<br />Amy.<br /><br />PS. "Maluszek" is very cute. Is it your family's name for Maluch? (Because normally Fiat 126p, and I assume you mean that one, is called Maluch, not Maluszek.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726401108704027247.post-74204873366828808052011-04-12T14:56:34.400-05:002011-04-12T14:56:34.400-05:00Wow!

She is now suffering from severe dementia, and I, too, have so many questions for her... it is truly sad that we wont get a chance to ask them.Foreign Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077245088524807925noreply@blogger.com
