Day 187 - I got my days messed as I switch between my blog and my dad's.....My dad's story starts on this blog at Day 1 thru to about Day 135 ish!
This is a messy blog but in my view randomness is reality to a point! However difficult, a true seeker gathers information from a variety of sources and makes their own conclusions. Good Luck.
My friend Nora once said, "Life is like a pendulum, sometimes it swings in your favor and sometime not but it always returns at same point to dead centre! |

Day 2019 - Metaphorically speaking all my scabs fell off one night too and I thought of words from MY dad's memoir....
Except from mu dads's memoir, "How I survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps" on Kindle, Amazon and Google.
"One day, in a little cell like room, I became covered all over with big scabs, like Job in the Bible story. Lacking in vitamins I suppose, or the food, I don't know! Maybe it was the fleas, lice and bug bites gone septic but it took its time to show up!
One night, I felt desperate and started meditating and was at the point of giving up when I came closer to God. I even felt ready to confess to any priest and ask forgiveness for sins I hadn't even committed!
We were given time off to see a German priest in the chapel across from our cells. Of course, we were closely guarded. A man in a German uniform gave us a sermon and some prisoners asked if he could do anything to help us, to which he responded, "I will try." I am afraid the man could do nothing at all, it was out of his hands but he certainly tried.
Then in all this, my scabs fell off, in one night, by themselves and what a relief that was more divine than any priest or traditional taboo could have achieved for me."

Day 2018 - 14,000 people have accessed my dad;s story..... way to go dad from up there above and beyond!!
Looks like a horse on the polder to me! If accessing my dad's memoir for the first time your have to scroll back to Day 1 - to get to the beginning of my dad's story - Oh Dear! but it is worth it! You could also get the big picture using a backwards perspective! After about posting 120 days I started adding random extras in formation which may spoil the blog for you depending on your perspective! |
