Thanks for the welcome Christine. However, I have no intention of cluttering up your thread with the battle Father Terrence and I waged against Emile over a year ago. Wasted breath on a mind that cannot comprehend.

My dad is living proof that the human spirit can endure and survive under the harshest conditions. Call it a testament to human fortitude, I call it heroism and bravery. He did many things that were punishable by immediate execution if caught, including stealing bread from a Nazi SS commandants kitchen to give to starving children, pulling other prisoners to safety out of marked "death" lines and on and on. I rarely heard these "hero" stories from him. Rather, I heard them years ago from other prisoners who survived. Imagine how big a child of 80 pounds is. That is how much my father weighed after the Allies freed his concentration camp. He was 20 years old. The stories I could tell about his experiences are almost beyond human comprehension. I think humans have physical limitations that may be reached, but the spirit and determination to survive and help others to do so in life and death situations transcend and overcome what otherwise may not be possible.

Please forgive me for barging in on your thread in such an abrupt manner. It is not my normal tendency.
