Life is Hard
Life is hard.
Changes happen even when you don't want them. What to do?? Pray and trust God to get you through it.
I did take a walk outside to get some exercise.

Some Family History
Family History -- family story passed down verbally..
It has been passed down by word of mouth that my Dad ( and his siblings) had an older brother and an older sister that died the same year... years before my Dad was born. Well my cousin shared an old scrapbook with a newspaper story about the little boy, who was only 14 months old. We found a death certificate for the little girl who was five years old at the time of her death. I will start at Midway Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery where the are both buried. Thanks to findagrave, have photos of both the graves.
They both have little lambs on top of headstones and inscriptions on their headstones that represent the love of their parents. Who can imagine the tremendous sorry of my Grandparents at losing not one, but two children within three months of each other. I wish I could have talked with them about this. How did they survive? continue on? I was only about four when Gammy died and seventeen when Gangal passed away from a Stroke.

Blast from the Past
My cousin brought over scrapbook and old photos for my Dad to look at while I am with him. He is recovering from a stroke.
Saw a newspaper article and the name did not ring a bell, some of the articles were on his Dad's side of the family and not anyone I know. There was an wedding announcement.. at first did not recognize the bride, recognized the name Mrs. Clarence Redmond ( my aunt Sybil) and further down was me!!! I was the flower girl. Wow. I feel lucky to see it!!! The articles back then were a lot more descriptive than announcements today.
Somewhere I have photo of me with the bride, Faye at the wedding. I am thinking she became a Speech Pathologist at UAB. I am thinking that Sybil was Faye's aunt.

My Uncle ..
My Uncle Clarence Redmond only lived 14 months. For years have heard the tragic story of his death, passed on from family.
Now have newspaper article. Found in scrapbook at my cousin's house that belonged to his Mother ..
I always thought he died in Rome, GA, but he died in Birmingham and was buried in Rome (where he was born.)
