YOU READ ME, YOU REALLY READ ME!



As I'm learning how to blog, with so much help from Paulette/Pawlina of Nash Holos Ukrainian Roots Radio, I'm blown away by the "statistics" button on the blogging page.  It shows page views by country and, holy mackerel, I would never have expected to have readers around the world -- not only Canada and the USA, but Ukraine, Russia, Indonesia, Netherlands, China, Gabon, France, Georgia, Chile, Australia, Mexico, Israel, Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Czech Republic, South Africa, Phillipines, Latvia, and Thailand.  Who woulda thunk!   Now if some people would leave comments.... or become followers.....   that would be great.  Thanks, everyone!

FOR MOTHER'S DAY

My article "Mama's War" had been around for many years now.  I have received comments about it from around the world.  Many people whose parents lived through the same events wrote that parts of this life could have been their mother's or father's story.  

Who knows how that generation survived the war and aftermath?  But they made our lives possible.  

If you haven't yet, write down your parents' and grandparents stories for yourself and your children. Don't let them be forgotten.
