  • Looking for Connection

    Once again, I find myself late at night at the computer keyboard, searching for connection. This time I am typing names into Facebook. This time they are the names of cousins, of my father's youngest sister, Betty, who surely is in her mid to late seventies at the youngest. I find myself wondering if his older sister, my Aunt Lucille, is still alive. She had wicked lung disease from smoking. She did not attend his funeral eleven years ago. I haven't seen my Aunt Betty since I was ten. I haven't seen two of my cousins since Daddy died and one of them I last saw in Shamokin about five or six or seven years ago.  I'm not exactly sure of how long it's been, it's been a while in a family that doesn't seem to connect unless one lives in the PA-MD area.  So I've sent out some friend requests. Maybe I'll search some obituaries on line tonight . The house is starting to warm from the wood fire I builty when I came home. Erik has been gone all day and he went straight to bed when he came home, so the house was cold with the wood unlicked by flame.

    Blessings abound
