AM I BACK?

Don't know for sure...

What I do know, is that I have missed talking out loud [typing] on here rather than have it running around in my head? After all this was supposed to be my diary to my family/friends...a sort of record of who I am/was without them needing to wonder after I die. Right now I have a 2 year gap that cannot be easily explained other than mostly eye problems making it too hard to read/type and other personal crap hitting the fan that made me back away for awhile. Financial problems can be harmful on mental health and Aquarians have a tendency to back off, want to be on their own to strengthen their resolves and that's just what I did.

Right now PoD is deep into researching her [our] family heritage by building the family tree. She has some from one cousin who started my mother's side but nothing clear of my dad's side. The most interesting I feel is my father's side of the family [so far] which I had stumbled across and wrote about it on here. One of the most disturbing facts being the age range of death, which is quite young [36-54]. The other facts is how hard to find anything about anyone is because they leave so little of themselves in written history.

Way back when, people kept written diaries, mostly men, this is how relatives kept track of their histories. I used to when I was 13 or 14 until my older sister found it and showed it to everyone and my innocent ways were ridiculed so I quit it. Sadly I wished I had kept it up as those brain cells got washed away in my foolish 20's binges or maybe it was a good thing?

With the family's health history, my health issues, not to mention friends younger than me dying lately has me re thinking about what does one leave as their last obit?

PoD has come across many a family member's mark history on my dad's side only because they did something that was noteworthy. Other than that nothing! This makes it hard to trace your family tree...harder if you have native blood and more so if you were female!

But that was in that day when there were no computers!

This blog has been surprising looked at by many people all over the world and by this people can find each other including family tree building. When I started looking into the tree I quickly ran out of sources to find anyone. Since PoD's started a week or so ago she has scored loads of info!

Right now this is as far as I can go as the rapid eye movement causes extreme nausea...;{

Not to mention a blog format I am not used to.....
