Anne of Green Gables wishes her given name was Cordelia, so she adopts it as her middle name.

I have become very hardened after all I have been through in the last 34 years. I don't feel much when I learn of another death. I never wanted become as such...but it is, what it is. My relatives on my dad's side lived through WWII in Europe. I now understand how people can become very hardened by living through a war.

Good point about how people before us had to live through wars that took their loved ones' lives. And we are in a kind of war... a spiritual, as well as a material one. Trouble is so many of us have become so soft and have never really suffered. Thanks for the reminder of how those who came before us had to find ways to pull through.

I hope you can still keep a place in your heart soft. I don't know what it's like to go through what you have - yet - and I appreciate your sharing what the road ahead is going to be like. God bless you.
