Do you know... I've thought of the same thing! (of course we've had the same thoughts!)
I once thought of tellin a tale. there are these little things that I love - Russian Tea glasses - they're called podstakannik.
here is a pic
and the fancy ones are expensive... but I love the more common, worn ones. and i imagined.... they are the ones that were used more often! had seen more fun things... been involved in a lot more celebrations!
The other fancy ones? Probably locked behind glass on a shelf.
Who would tell the better stories? hehehehe I thought about telling a story from both of their perspectives! :)
so... yes - i see that beautiful bathtub and think - ohhhhhhhhhhhh so lovely! and what that tub must have seen! hehehehe
and i was giggling at the thought of you in your robe! asking the man about Ellendale! LOLOLOL
as for your family... it is unforgivable that they took those children away withouth seeking their German family! They were put into foster care and separated?!?!?! that makes me so angry!!!! And not just foster care - but foster care of people who didn't like Germans! What do people think??? these are CHILDREN!!!
but... the whole story. i'm so glad that you found your family! and brought healing!
i always look forward to more :)
This is definitely the reason why I love old artefacts and findings !!! When I feel into old things, that makes them so special.
What a beautiful tea glass this is.
I like also using old cutlery and plates as well. Actually not many things I have around are new, and if ... they are put together by me from old stuff and antique furniture, that I have painted and reused.
Yes, the bathrobe ... I was laughing when I returned to the room, I think I barely realised that I went down with the bathrobe on, in this situation .... hahaha
I cannot understand ... until today .... I don't understand why they did that. This is so unbelievable. Imagine just a day after your parents have died this way, they even separated the three children and then to select these people for them. How can anyone be so without a heart without any feelings and make such a decision?
Since they were put into the foster care until some weeks before that day in 1999, they have not been together again.

Heartbreaking. I really do not understand the reasoning. I can't. I don't have that kind of mind.
It confuses and angers me that someone would traumatize those children even more - and to this day, to see the legacy of suffering. wow.
the tea glass - that one is just a picture from the internet hehehehe Mine is different. I packed it up in the move, so I'll get it out soon (and actually look for a new one to buy too!)
and your bathrobe. LOLOLOL soooooooooooo funny!!!!!! but that's what happens sometimes, right? just - the mind takes over and all sense of "normal etiquette" goes right out the window! LOLOL plus - it was a cruise ;) I'm sure your bathrobe was better than some of the bathing suits that people wear on deck! heheheheheh
Yes, this confuses and angers me until today and I think this will anger me also until the end of days.
Maybe I just have no mind to think like that, too. I could never ever do anything like that, this would simply break my heart and I would never recover.
