July 21, 2008 - I've got the memories, always inside of me...

My dad just got back from visiting his parents out of state.

Everyone please pray for my Grandad (my dad's dad), who has heart trouble and may have cancer.

About a year ago, my great-grandma (my dad's mom's mom) passed away. I never really knew her, but my dad had grown up around her quite a bit. He brought home a few things that my Grandma (his mom) had saved from my great-grandma's house for us. Just some knick-knacks she had, but I think it's really special and will treasure it.

My great-grandpa (my mom's mom's dad) passed away a few months ago after moving to a nursing home along with my great-grandma and my grandma (my mom's mom) brought us some things from their house, including four wooden ducks he had painted and carved. Especially now that he's gone on, I think that's pretty cool.

I have them both on my shelf in my room, so I can always see them and be reminded of those who came before me and have gone before me. I always get so caught up in my life and my problems and my friends, etc, etc. It's hard to think that there have been millions of people who have come before me that had similar problems. They had problems, made mistakes, got answers, and learned lessons... valuable lessons that can be shared with us. They may be gone now but their legacy lives on.
