Helping others discover their roots
“There are two lasting bequests we can give our children: One is roots, the other is wings.” Teaching children values and giving them the opportunity to excel is essential to good parenting. However, I feel I must also provide my children (and myself) insight into the ones who came before us: our ancestors whose lives and stories have shaped us into who we are. This is my journey; these are their stories…

Hello Ann Marie. I do have a story for your consideration. Once again, it will not exactly be whatever normal is. I don’t seem to have many “normal” stories. Anyway, I hope you and your readers will enjoy my retelling a family classic about one very unique Christmas ornament.

Oh Gary…I love your story! Next’s week them is about ornaments, can I use it then? Also I could not write comments on your page…it was missing. I love your wife’s response to the copper pipe…what a wonderful addition to the tree. She’s a keeper and pretty amazing!

Hi Ann Marie. Thanks so much for your response and yes, my wife is very much a keeper. In a few days, it will be 39 years that we’ve done life together, far from perfect both of us, but so much better when we’re together.
Certainly – you can use my story however you see fit. I’ve learned not to challenge your wisdom. I just hope your readers enjoy the memory as much as I enjoy retelling it.
And thanks for calling out that missing comment option. I thought I clicked it, but that was a busy morning when I wrote this essay and I must not have hit save hard enough. . .

Ann Marie, I can’t keep them all straight anymore, but should you both need a story for this week and you’ve not seen my Tree Tag Adventure, I offer it in place of the Ornament story. I think any active kid, at least once, wanted to do this. We actually did it and lived to tell the story.

Good morning, Ann Marie. After our heart-to-heart yesterday, I realized that I just might have a Christmas memory to share. Granted, it probably is not one that my family wants world to know, but I won’t tell if you don’t! 😉
I hope you enjoy this Christmas chuckle: https://kindredconnection.wordpress.com/2018/12/07/mom-canceled-christmas/.
