Were people more kind then because of what they had experienced? My Polish-Ukrainian godfather-to-be, a WWII refugee, was given $5, which took him to his first job in Canada.

The kindness of strangers that shared only the same nationality is so very uplifting, as was your father’s courage and resilience. To my way of thinking, these things are the measure of true greatness. Thank you and please, don’t stop the story here.

I feel the warmth of your connection with your father’s journey and also the tiny dread that crept in. I experienced some of that with both of my parents.
