We did #childcare on Friday. Because I've spent 65 of the last 68 years fretting about everything that can go wrong, we began putting away everything that could fly off in wind and hurt us or the house. The 6-year-old helped. He brought in buckets of toys and a succulent he planted and worried so much about an #amaryllis his aunt gave him at his house he made me call his mom at work and made her promise to bring it in. #hurricane #tropicalstorm #sandiego #hurricanhilary #CoHS #grandparenting

As #holocaustmemorialday ends I remember my family, whose names, deeds, lives, possessions, histories & futures were erased when hatred, prejudice, and greed resulted in their murders. The Other can be the neighbor down the street, can be the stranger, can be the person you see in yourself or do not recognize at all. We live in a world in which The Other is denied humanity, deprived of freedom, dignity, and sometimes life. #TyreNchols #rigaghetto #Germany Jews#HolocaustSurvivors #COHS #2G
