an unsung hero

mom forwarded an email to me today and in general, i delete forwards, but for some reason i opened this one. i'm SO glad i did because i learned of an irena sendler, a woman who's name i have never heard, but should have. she risked her life to save over 2,500 children during the holocaust. mom's email was a short blurb on her compassion and heroism. i was so moved, i googled her name to learn more and i found this. it brought tears to my eyes and my heart was so full of gratitude for this woman who i never met but whose name, i won't forget. thanks mom.
