Dear Brittany:

I read your post here and the thread you started and answered you on your own thread. I hope that you reply to me there, and that we communicate further on your thread.

Dear Brandy:

So good to read from you and to know you’ve been following my thread, and that we are on the same page! If you find that we are not on the same page on any particular topic or detail, let me know.

Your grandparents were young people during the Spanish pandemic, how very interesting. I too wish you asked them about it, but back then, you had no idea that you will be finding yourself in a pandemic, so maybe it didn’t feel relevant to you at the time. But the concerned look on your grandmother’s face was telling!

There is a book, I didn’t read it, about the Spanish flu, with the testimonies of people who lived through (don’t recall the title, but it’s easily goog-able. I may read parts of it if I can find it online.
