That was beautiful. "My daughter talked to my Mom as if my daughter was connective tissue to the New World, how the children of American Soviet Jews might talk to their parents born in Baku and Moscow and the Ukraine." I believe what many of the Giovannis of the world are missing is the spiritual "why" of life. We are all connective tissue, threads between the past, present and future. We learn from and honor those who came before and live in the present to make a better future. The comparison of experiences shows our common humanity. I was very fortunate to have known my grandparents and I talk to them often as I garden and work on our farm. By the way, I really like your interesting name.
I loved this comment. You win the comment of the week award! And absolutely the spiritual "why" of life is missing from many of the Giovannis of the world.
