Today in church I went to a class on family history. There was a question posed to the class. "Have you ever felt a connection to a family member that has passed away?" I did not need to think about this question because i had always had the answer. I have always felt a connection to my maternal grandfather. He died of TB twenty years before I was born but I have always had this spiritual connection with him. I have deep love for this person that I have never met. I want to know all there is to know about him. Unfortunately for me my mother was 14 years old when he died and she doesn't remember a lot about him because he was in the Royal Navy during WWII and was gone for long periods of time and by the time the war was over he was very sick and she could not see him. I guess I will just have to wait until I meet him in heaven. If you can hear me, I love you my dearest granddad true or false, very true indeed. Happy Father's Day!

I felt that way about my Dad's Mom, who died when my dad was only 5 years old. And then, while visiting my Dad's Dad a lot in college, he {my grandpa} told me I had a lot of mannerisms and the way I said things that were a lot like Mazie. Interesting, huh!
