My sister does geneology. She showed us a family tree going back to Germany in the 1600's.
My grandson was born last Thursday. As I held him this weekend, I thought about all of our ancestors.... Then I got home and read your post and just had to agree that geneology is fascinating.
Terri's tribute
My golden aura blazes bright
The inky sky tells me its night
My eyes won't blink My body betrays
The youthful grace of yesterdays
Gracious Lord from whom life comes
I ask you now your will be done
Take my soul and bring it home
I lie here still and all alone
Grant me mercy lift my strife
So I might start eternal life
I have known these many years
It was you who calmed all my fears
Take away my parents pain
So they might learn to live again
If I could speak I want to live
For those who take my life "I forgive"
The aura dims My soul takes flight
I greet my Lord this Starlit night!

Congratulations!
Now would be a perfect time to start a family history...c child who grows up knowing 'who he is" has strong roots - "grounded" - and knowing they are loved and safe...
