I grew up going to a nearby cemetery to feed the ducks with my mom & auntie. Remember it being called CAVE HILL. My auntie just recently passed and it has hit me pretty hard (2021) More than 20 years ago losing my mother (1999) MY Auntie was sort of the stand in when I needed her to be the loving feeling of someone always on my side and looking out for me in her prayers as my mother did. Guess when you see them in pain every day apposed to calling them once a week, seeing them on social media or just at a holiday or other special occasions it's harder. You grieve for the time past and things you did or didn't say. So to fill my time with this channel. https://www.youtube.com/ In the garden and the blessings
Each day filming the Miracles of Heaven on Earth is a passion. Hope to share the plants, bugs and weather that are a miracle to me each day. I am here by way of the Ancestry passion I have at this time to create my Family tree. MOM and Auntie plus several other family members are passed now and finding all kinds of questions I never asked them. Like about The cemetery I visited as a child ... We had no family or loved ones laid to rest at this cemetery to feed the ducks at that time. We lived in the city so not much place to walk in ways of Parks . I remember the geese would be aggressive at times. Then a time someone gifted me a duck for Easter probably a uncle that wanted to have for dinner? But at some point and we couldn't keep it during the winter and I choose to set it free so we took it to this pond to release it. Hope it had the skills to fly south? I worry now. Also remember with a cousin I collected large snail shells at times from around the pond and remember it as a good experience. The Tombstones were so elegant or elaborate it was beautiful to me. I went on an occasion and ran into people I knew and had lost touch with, they were visiting the grave of their relatives. It was a sad and happy reunion. Later in life it was just a familiar quiet place to go and I took my now spouse for a date to walk in the cemetery as a thrifty and enjoyable way to share my childhood memories.
Thinking Maybe my parents wanted me to be comfortable with the time they passed and would visit often. Maybe bring flowers, a few wipes or spray vinegar and a scrub brush to get some bird droppings off the headstone and ask that the mower person to move grandpa back up on his cement foundation where his large, heavy marker had slid off. I only knew grandpa at age 2 to visit him in his room once. I wish I remember more about the loved ones that have passed. Just realized that little disagreements mean nothing now when family is gone from us. Make Peace not war is my wish. My mother and father had both served in WWII and I chose not to serve in the military. I'm hoping they understand and I wanted to be instead be A Friend to the lonely, Student of academics, a Cyclist to see nature, Transcriptionist to record others words, Receptionist to pass on the messages, Genealogist now after finding Ancestry.com to help find passed loved ones in my family tree. Data entry, Library Clerk, Parent, Teacher assistant, caregiver, Partner and homemaker are just a few of the hats I have worn and hope to find more as I go on in this world. Thinking of an Uncle that gave me the first Camera that helped me have the love of capturing the world as I see it and those I love to remember them for many years to come. NOW Photographer?
Over the years we have lost many pets and people and hope they watch over us and keep us safe, warning us from danger or mistakes we might make.
