Pat--I mean no harm by what I am about to say here, but on August 14 I received. A Picture Blessing, from a perfect stranger who read a posting I placed here on Afrigeneas. She did not know me or my family. But HER MOTHER LIKED TO COLLECT OLD PICTURES AT ANTIQUE STORES, many years ago, that happened to be a picture that was a part of my family and now it belongs to me and my heritage. So sometimes A story here can reach out and find a stranger and find one of those leaves on a family tree. I cannot get living family today to share images of pictures from the past or present. It's ok. I am at peace. My gggrandma is smiling. My ggrandma is smiling My grandma is smiling. We are ALL DOING THE HAPPY DANCE.
