You have really emersed

Posted on Sun, 24 Sep 2017

You have really emersed yourself in your family background. It's always fascinating to find out information about your family tree. My dad did something very similar and discovered so much he didn't know.

Never a truer word was said than: Ours is not to wonder why, ours is just to do and die.

Your writing was so moving
