During the documentary‚ The Last Days‚ one speaker affected me emotionally and that was Renee. The anecdote of when she was taken from her home and was demanded to take only her most valuable items hit home.

This reminded me of my two stuffed elephant dolls that I was given when I was a baby. I have them still and they hold so many great memories for me.
