What was she like, my
mother? The older I get the more I wonder at the sort of person she was. I miss
her more now, and I’m 63, than I ever did when I was 20. Is it perhaps that I
realise the potential for the relationship, as the relationships with my own
children continue to develop and change?
I was fifteen when she died. From what I remember about that age I was a
normal obnoxious teenager; more interested in, and influenced by my peers, than
my parents. I want to tell her story, and Dad’s. I want my grandies to know a
little about these two special people, not just the bare facts of when and
where they were born and died.
There are lots of names in my family tree, but the main branches I am climbing along are HARVEY, HALL, PORTER, and PIRRETT. These writing are part of a year long challenge called 52 Ancestors Their roots began in England, Ireland and Scotland. All were of the common or garden variety, but to me they were more than that. If they look familiar to you, I'd love to hear from you. it's always a thrill to meet new cousins These writings are part of a year long writing challenge called 52 Ancestors
