For the first time in months I sat down this morning and worked on my genealogy. For the last 2.5 years I worked with an investigative company completing military repatriation cases. And as much as I enjoyed finding the relatives for those MIA/KIA World War II soldiers, it made me feel more and more guilty whenever I took a moment to work on my own family history.
So I called it quits.
Genealogy was a hobby that I so enjoyed. It wasn’t just finding out the stories of my ancestors, but it was meeting cousins along the way, because often they were like me, searching for their own roots, so it was a win-win, I found people like me!
Sadly, today had me begin adding the death certificate information into my program for my sister, Kellie, who passed away on June 25. I’m sure I’ll delve into that whole thing in the coming months. It could be therapeutic for me. I know she is at peace, but she brought a lot of her issues onto herself, and that’s the challenging part for me as the surviving sibling. It’s where the anger comes in.
Looking forward to getting back to work on my favorite hobby and sharing my relatives and their stories with you. Thank you for your patience during my downtime.
