"On Aug. 9, 1945, the United States exploded a nuclear device over Nagasaki, Japan, instantly killing an estimated 39,000 people. The explosion came three days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima."

May God forgive us for what we keep doing to each other, regardless of the reason or justification. All things considered: No one ever really wins a war.

Thanks to Bruce Garner of Atlanta for this eye-opener. Until I read his email, I did not realize that the Borden twins' births occurred between these two earth-shattering events. Benji says I brought him into the world during a terrible year, 1968. What must it have been like for Clayton and Marguerite to realize their sons were ushered in at the dawn of the atomic age!
Deedo was always proud that my mother's birth occurred the day after WWI ended. I never heard Marguerite mention her thoughts or feelings about the world events surrounding her children's birth. With her two, she probably didn't have time to think of world events.

Mike has pool therapy today, so this is it for now. Hope everyone has a good Thursday.

Peace!
