*I am very into Genealogy and Photography. I am working on several lengthy projects, that I plan to continue until I can not come up with anymore new information or until my brain just will not accept anymore! Eventually, the goal is to compile all of the data and pass it on to future generations.
*** THERE ARE SOME MEMORIALS THAT I MANAGE & MAINTAIN THAT ARE MY KIN, THEREFORE I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DO SO.
** IF YOU SEE A MEMORIAL THAT IS OF A RELATIVE OF YOURS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO SEND ME A TRANSFER REQUEST VIA THE SUGGEST / EDIT SECTION OR MESSAGE ME, STATING YOUR RELATION AND YOUR FIND A GRAVE ID #. IT MAY BE ONE THAT I'M WILLING TO TRANSFER. *WHO KNOWS, WE MAY END UP FINDING SOME LIVING RELATIVES IN THE PROCESS OR HELP EACH OTHER WITH GENEALOGY / ANCESTRY SEARCHES?!

_-_ THE DASH _-_
☆I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning... to the end.
~ He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.
~ For that dash represents all the time they spent alive on earth and now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth.
~ For it matters not, how much we own, the cars... the house... the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.
~ So think about this long and hard; are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged.
~ To be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before.
~ If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile... remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.
~ So when your eulogy is being read, with your life's actions to rehash, would you be proud of the things they say about how you lived your dash?
