The irony I've learned through my loss is that my understanding of family is now much clearer.

While I believe regrets to be futile, I am still haunted by the lessons I've learned during my grief and wish I had known and practiced them sooner.

So while I may not know the number of my days, and would like to make the remaining ones meaningful; it appears my renewed opportunity, born through grief, is to apply these lessons to my remaining connections.

While my intentions on Find A Grave are self-serving in wanting to build a family tree, I am humbled by the hours and service put forth by this community.

Thank you for participating in someone's history and grief process.
