So many Albanians have lost husbands, brothers, wives or children. Nearly everyone has lost his or her home and most possessions. The scale of the terror that is emerging--possibly 10,000 killed, as many as 100 mass grave sites at latest NATO count--leaves little room right now for any emotion but horror...

Personally, she let me know that I was not weird when I was not getting along with adults, or was infatuated with a boy I knew I didn't really like. Fears of not accomplishing anything as an adult, dying without leaving a mark and never finding love or happiness became more normal, but also more trivial for me, because I had the privilege of life. The passion Anne had in her life and her art injected my life with these same elements as well...
