"Count Your Blessings & Smile" by:  George Formby  May 31, 1940

     Since I do genealogy, one thing my mother asked me to do was to make sure her grandchildren & great grandchildren always remembered her, Dad, our family and our lives.  She asked that our family history, for better or worse be documented with pictures & videos.  Mom usually kept everything.  Overall we had a wonderful family who I always thought loved one another.  Neither she nor I had any idea our family would endure heartache and things that should never have occurred or we would have taken different measures to ensure final wishes were respected.  So... for better or worse, I'm documenting as she requested.

     I made three copies of all family home videos and converted videos to current technology.  Pictures are all being labeled with names, locations, etc.  I will ensure things are documented to the best of my ability in multiple locations to (I hope) ensure sustainability.  I'm an auditor, so I rely on facts as they are documented.  My personal frame of reference is only as to what I know for fact; at any given point in time; and opinions and future opinions can easily change with additional information.

     I love my parents and miss them more than anyone could ever understand.  Mom was our glue.  I'm sure she's rolling over and over in her grave.  I'm thankful for being poverty stricken & homeless during this journey.  It has given me such amazing insight.

     My genealogy site is being rebuilt at FindingEldorado.com.

Nadia's Theme
Theme from the Young & the Restless
I still cry when I hear Nadia's Theme.  I probably always will.  I miss you, Mom. 
Life is not worth living without you and Dad.
