Lucky old you, I had to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways.

and, although you did not ask, my mom survived too.

Jim,
There is nothing wrong with being the voice for those who did not survive. In fact there is a gallantry.
Instead of using the tone of anger and fear alone, for those who can not scream for themselves, I suggest you reserve a tone for us who are still alive and are sustained and motivated by love. That is - Unless you have Asperger's syndrome and have an inability to relate to flesh and blood people.

So the real question is who or what victimized you and your family?
