So a quick side project while driving home from sleepy hollow,we made a pit stop in Milford ma to visit my moms parents grave because i haven't been in a very long time, and for me cemeteries are very peaceful and a great place for me to step back in the past and almost feel like I'm living in there world. and when i saw my grandparents headstone i was quite taken back, i got every emotional, even though i cannot remember them, well my grandmother and my uncle at least. i wasn't born yet when both my uncle Marty and grandfather martin died. but i felt like i knew them and i miss them very much in that moment when i read their names. i called my mom and she told me that i had more family just further down the road. and then i found my great grandfather Patrick and his wife Mary along with my great great grandfather john and his wife Mary. it was quite remarkable to me since my mother could not remember any of her side of the families name and in one glance they were all there staring at my in the face. i had answers i wasn't even sure i could get. it was amazing, and it was a great way to finish the day.
so here's to family, all family that is here and to those who are now longer with us.
