On September 8, I Wrote Maxim and Alena: “I Was Going to Write You a Much Shorter Note Asking How You Were and Telling You That I Was Still Praying for You and Ukraine.” To Date I Have Not Received a Response. – Восьмого вересня я написав Максиму та Альоні: “Я збирався написати вам набагато коротшу записку, питаючи, як ви, і кажучи, що я все ще молюся за вас та Україну.” На сьогодні я не отримав відповіді.

Ми були в Берліні на площі універсітета Гумбальда і бачили невеличкий меморіал про цю історичну подію. Це було дуже корисно, знову думати про це.
