Do you still have yours? I wonder what made you choose Poland as a child? Very neat comment. Also, do you still keep up with your Japanese students? <b>halfmoon girl</b>, thanks for checking in. Yes, difficult on many levels. If ever there was a reason to be superstitious, this would be it. e-Mom, I always wanted a stamp collection. Do you still have yours?

halfmoon girl, thanks for checking in. Yes, difficult on many levels. If ever there was a reason to be superstitious, this would be it.

My understanding is the it has also brought back a lot of the horror of what happened many years ago in the area- so difficult on so many levels for the Polish people. It is very tragic.

I collected stamps as a girl, and Poland was my focus country... as a country it has a special place in my heart! :~D Poland has suffered much… we were sad to learn of this tragic plane crash.

It is so unthinkable on a raw personal level for the Polish people and the families directly at a loss. The only daughter of the president and his wife has lost both her parents. The twin brother of the president. The ailing mother of the president, now hospitalized. And hundreds of other stories of suffering. I'm thinking too how vulnerable the entire nation must feel. We can only pray for God to give his peace that passes all understanding, and for time to heal these deep wounds. As I reflect on this today, I am realizing the gravity of this situation even more.
