It might just take a bit of time – this household right now is like a field hospital and then there’s the dreaded Thanksgiving…

With "us" I mean the generations born after WWII; for us it was a different country, very difficult to travel to and therefor a part of the world which existed, but that was about it. That the two parts of Germany were re-unified in the end was a big surprise for everybody; then, after the first joy, the real difficulties began. No country had ever been saddled with such a task and not all went well. But that is another story altogether. Yes, hard to imagine for you, but the situation was different for us.
