Thank you for writing this post about your parents and their depression and wartime childhoods. It is a paradoxical and beautiful occurrence that when your parents lived during these difficult times with food shortages each of their mothers were willing to help and share what food they had with others. They were an example of the message of your Kindness Boomerang Newsletter. And your parents taught you to continue to pay the kindness and help forward!

Thank you Julie! Yes I learned a lot from my parents and grandparents and it is my hope that this newsletter is one way to keep the kindness going...
