Oh my! I find out so many new things about our dear Ilona’s life through these tales. This is one of the most beautiful stories I have heard. I will keep it near and look at it again as the holiday season approaches. This absolutely speaks to the spirit of the season. I just love it! And you can feel Ilona’s joy through her retelling of this time in her life. So, now I think I might just show up on her doorstep with my suitcase in hand to see what might happen! Sending love dearest one…..
