And it is depressing to know that every year the ability to retrieve those stories becomes less possible because the people to tell them aren't here anymore.<BR/><BR/>Do you know if anyone is working on compiling some of these? I'd assume many people are, but I am hoping they are more like yours and less like the news.<BR/><BR/>Amazing post and a wonderfully told story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18382503.post-1985370721699197212007-05-10T16:44:00.000-05:002007-05-10T16:44:00.000-05:00Thank you for sharing that vision of the "Soup Lad...Thank you for sharing that vision of the "Soup Ladies" out feeding the hungry.

More like it distills it into things I can now better understand. <BR/><BR/>Luckily, I get to be frivolous and funny sometimes too. Thanks for reading - and I love your comments!

Mostly because nothing I say could add to the poetry of your writing, nor to the understanding of your experience.<BR/>I do love the soup story. But the reality of hunger surrounding that? That kills me.<BR/>Thanks for putting this out there, for sharing the truth, for just being you.Jenn in Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356887577439040747noreply@blogger.com
