Ancestors are the last window into the past. Their memoirs and stories are the only glimpse I have into their lost world. I was born in 2009. My mother gave birth to me late in life, so most of my relatives have passed away. I use findagrave and ancestry to collect my family's stories, be it good or bad. Family sometimes ridicules me; "Why don't you be a kid and focus on the now?" Well, I'm pretty fed-up with "now," so I actively practice genealogy. Remember them when everyone else turns their heads. Slow down to remember them in a fast paced world. Close your eyes and see them. Just remember them.
