Today is my grandmother's birthday; she would have been 85 years old. I never had the opportunity to know her since she died when I was 8 months old but I often think about how my life would have been different to have had her (or any grandparents in that fact) in my life. I can't focus on the "what ifs" and "could have beens" in life. Instead I love to hear stories about my family and look at their pictures. I want to feel in some way to know who they are. This doesn't go just for my grandmother but all my ancestors. I have a deep love for them and I desire to know them and I hope in return they are getting to know me and my children as well.
I look forward to that when I will be reunited with my family and the embraces we will share. That will be a wonderful day!
