I was writing about wish full thinking and what I see in other people. I don’t know about these things where families pass down traditions that’s amazing to me. Everybody’s always write what you know well I spend a lot of time writing what I don’t know. It’s sort of writing in absence, writers do that to. But what I do have is I never knew my grandparents, I knew one of my grandfathers for about ten minutes, never had a relationship with my father that whole thing. I mean I have no connection to WWII, I was born in 1965. What was your personal connection to Breath of Bones, if any?
