I know that it is tempting to re-write our own histories to make them picture perfect and always happy. The truth is if we do that we cannot legitimately acknowlege what is good in our lives and what we want to weed out. Most people never weed and continue the same behavior for decades putting off self examination because it is painful...another subject I have addressed before.
My characters (the children) wish they could re-write their lives with the absence of war. But those are the parameters of their short lives...and they were dealt a certain hand. How you juggle the cards is the rest of your life.
