Was contacted by a family member
About our relationship
Fortunately was on good terms with this individual
But got me to wondering about those behind me and to the side
Started the search the usual way parents, grandparents
Became fascinated with the pictures
Couldn’t see myself in any of those tin type looking pictures
Occasionally my mind would wonder
Mentally trying to picture their environment
Always sympathetic to those without indoor plumbing
But I digress
And though I wish there were biographies of my ancestors
All that really exists is conjecture
Came to understand there was strong possibility we are all related
Bad news there
I have not always treated others right
Glad I don’t have to many followers on this blog
Or I would be hearing from them
Even blocked a friend of forty years on Facebook book for his political views
Good Lord help me
Redemption is possible though
Started Zooming with outlying family members
Who I had neglected for years
So, so grateful for a second chance
To once again be called their brother!
