It is odd how some things make a big impression.
This weekend an Australian newsreader, Charmaine Dragun, tragically threw herself from a cliff. I didn't know her, or previously know of her, but online news referenced her below article about a trip to her ancestral village in Croatia:
Dragun's search for her roots
The article vividly describes her excitement and sensory experiences.
Now she is dead, age 29.
RIP
