I'm reminded everyday of how Blessed I am. Of all the material things I have lost, I've regained in more important things of sentimental value and of matters of the heart; my family...my very large and still expanding family. Anyone that knows me knows my love for my family history and my drive for researching my heritage. Everyday I come in contact with another family member and whether distant by mileage or lineage, I love them all. Family...like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions, but our roots remain the same.
