Life's a Journey.
I look to the photograph on the left, a sweet memory frozen in time - I realize how truly blessed and grateful I am to have my grandfather in my life. A man with a wealth of knowledge and experience, a story only he can tell. I see a deepness in his eyes, one that I notice in many his age, a sort of hidden wisdom that can only be attained through an extensive journey. What is my grandfather's journey?
It was this question that prompted me to create a home for his story and the stories of all my relatives. I often worry that these stories will be left untold and the wisdom which lies within those deep eyes will be lost forever. Many of us, myself included, do not take advantage of the opportunities presented to us to learn, document and share the wealth of knowledge that lies within our family history. To understand where we come from, will help us understand who we are. I hope to one day be able to explain this history to my children and my children's children, to be able to help them understand who they are and where they came from.
This site is my effort to begin documenting the rich background of my family, a journey that will take some time, patience and a large amount of help from all of my relatives. The journey of life can be an emotional one, stories of ups and many downs - all of which I hope to capture with all differences put aside. So here's to the future....
