"They might not need me - Yet, theymight. I'll let my
heart be just in slight. A word from me
- a smile maybe, precisely their necessity"
- Quote from my Great-Grand Mother

its been amazing staying with my uncle here in England for most of the summer. there is a lot about my Dad side of the family that I have been learning about. i mean sure i might have learn about some of this before, but didnt care at the time. now its like a history book!

i have learned about a bombing that had happen when my uncle was a small boy, that caved in the roof of their house. the roof landing on the bed my granny normal sleeps in, but was told by her mother that she should sleep downstairs under these mental tables they gave out by then for people to sleep under. so one night my granny listened to her mother and went and slept under the table. that night the bombing happened.
just little stories like that one makes history more real to me. i hated sitting in a class room trying to read out of a book what happen. i like to know personal stories!my sister and i also got a chance to listen to a tape that my granny record for my uncle and her wife. it was strange to hear her voice. but it is something i would like to do for my kids one day!
