I d...Anne - Thank you for your kind condolences. <br /><br />I don't usually talk about my family's internment. It's such an uncomfortable subject to think about because it happened here in the U.S. I also had the same worry as your friend Steve after 9/11 though I never mentioned it to anyone.<br /><br />One of the most compassionate conversations I've had on the subject was with none other than our mutual friend, B1-66er. He was both curious and respectful about it. Sometimes I wish we were still talking.<br /><br />The day was definitely more celebration but it was still difficult. I'm doing better now.<br /><br />MTMock Turtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242519415417461831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31787487.post-87278222894266793292009-05-12T22:39:00.000-07:002009-05-12T22:39:00.000-07:00MT, I am sorry to learn of your aunt's passing. I...MT, I am sorry to learn of your aunt's passing. I am sure she is comfortable and pain-free whereever she is now.<br /><br />You are only the second person that I know who had family at the Japanese internment camps. My friend Steve tells of his father's experiences in the camp... It still resonates with him that American citizens' right were so cruelly violated! Steve was very worked up after 9-11, wondering if all people with Middle Eastern ethnic ties would be rounded up like the Japanese were. <br /><br />I hope the day was more a celebration of your aunt's life than a day of mourning.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074534319448898876noreply@blogger.com
