My elder granddaughter is not completely recovered from missile blasts going off near hotel. She is having trouble sleeping, as is her 9 year old half brother.

My daughter snd her two girls are driving up from Frankfurt this weekend. I’ll find out firdt hand how much of her experience dhe is carrying around with her. My daughter said she is drawing pictures about it, which is a good thing. Keeping it locked up inside is not. My father-in-law did that with Stalingrad, and it drove him mad in his last two months of life.
