Wordless Wednesday is a daily blogging prompt sponsored by Geneabloggers
Feeling a little listless, lost, and ungrounded tonight. I spend so much time with the dead…poring through the past, trying to reconstruct lives from sometimes nothing more than scraps of barely legible paper…wondering who they were and what they would have wished people could know about them now. I am so lucky to have had all four of my grandparents in my life for as long as they were. I was so loved. But, I wish I’d asked them more questions. Not about facts and dates, but rather about their thoughts and the memories of all the little moments in their lives which they would have wanted me to keep safe in my memory for them. I really want to get it right……Know what I mean? I’m not sure I’m explaining myself, but I want to post their picture before it’s Thursday. I hope I’m making some sense


















I just had to comment – I saw the photo of your grandparents in a Geneabloggers pin and was struck by how much your grandfather on the left looks like my father. They could have been twins.
And yes, you are making sense.
Thank for the comment Amanda! I’d love to see a picture. If you’d like, you can email me at: claire at mahoganybox dot net
