[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 707927, member: 2844"]I know! Both my parents and grandfathers from both sides were active in the Dutch Resistance. I was very close to my maternal grandfather who is still an inspiration to me. He led a resistance 'cell' as they called it, and had to sleep at a different location every night. In the meantime my grandmother was at home, taking care of the children, a disabled father, and a few refugees they had invited into their home. My grandfather would never call himself brave, but felt it was his duty. He was very conscientious, even if what he did was detrimental to his health. I still have two photos of him on my desk, and when I am having a bad day I think: he had bad days under extreme circumstances, but found the strength in himself to go on. This is the only one I have a copy of on my computer, a tiny photo in a dainty silver frame of him as a young man in the 1910s: [ATTACH=full]187484[/ATTACH] Detail: [ATTACH=full]187485[/ATTACH] Now I'm off to get myself a tissue.....[/QUOTE]
