We are so shocked as to be speechless, David. B’H we don’t have any friends or relatives there, but it is still a war, and it’s a civil war as it is essentially one country.
The Ukrainians I know don’t feel that way, Dolly…
I’m so happy to learn your wife made it back safely! I can’t imagine what you and your family were going through during this time. Thanks for letting us know. 🙂
