So Much Has Happened

Dear Readers....

 I did put a post on this blog in October this year...just to announce the Family History Conference to be held here in Victorville. I had been home just a day and then was called back to Wisconsin (where I had just spent 2 weeks) because my mom had died and there was a funeral to plan. I see that the post before the one announcing the conference was last year!.... Nov. 1, 2012!

Well..Since Nov 1 of last year,  so much has happened!  The main 2 events that happened are:  both my dad (born 1926 died 2012) and my mom (born 1927 died 2013) have passed away. Above is a picture I took of the pall bearers at my mom's funeral as they carried her casket to its resting place, juts a few weeks ago. As you can see...it was a glorious autumn day...October 22, 2013.

I seem to have passed into a whole new era of my life now...as some of you may have passed into...where  your parents are now on the other side...as well as your grandparents, great grandparents, etc. and their children...your aunts, uncles, great aunts, great uncles, etc.

The older I get, the more precious each day becomes. The older I get, the more I appreciate those who have gone before me.

I want my children and grandchildren to know who their forebears are.

I want to help you discover who yours are.

Hence, I have decided to put more posts on this blog and my other blog: elijahcame.blogspot.com .

So check my blogs often and see what you can learn!
