I think when your grandchildren reach their 30s they will be more curious about their past and be able to connect with your life more. I was very, very close to my grandma, but lost her when I was only around 16. We never spoke about anything in all the hours that we spent together. I was too young. Now how I wish I could ask her things or know things about her life ... I wish she had written them down!! :)binduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156291956967889455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394821956548065934.post-86282566335405089352008-12-09T21:25:00.000-05:002008-12-09T21:25:00.000-05:00I've thought about doing my bio many times, but ne...I've thought about doing my bio many times, but never quite got it started. I write children's stories (not published), so when I am writing, it's usually that.<BR/><BR/>I started when my grandchildren were young... they're all in their 20's now... but I still like to write something on occasion, and I make them sit and listen to me read my story when it's finished. They swear they love it, but I think they fib a little (or a lot). Why do I read it to them rather than let them read it themselves... I'll bet you can guess.

You know, you should write down ...Interesting post. You know, you should write down your memories like this for your family if you haven't already done so. My father has written "his biography", just for family reading, and though I know him so well, as I read it I realize that he's bringing to life for me a world that no longer exists, especially since India is changing so fast. These are precious memories.binduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156291956967889455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394821956548065934.post-46114419806514039222008-12-07T15:26:00.000-05:002008-12-07T15:26:00.000-05:00Thank you meb, for writing this.

Your father sounds like a wonderful man and a great father. That is about as good a combination as a girl can get, isn't it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394821956548065934.post-21231784474937345322008-12-07T11:41:00.000-05:002008-12-07T11:41:00.000-05:00Wonderful post, meb. I don't know too many people ...Wonderful post, meb. I don't know too many people who remember Pearl Harbor and will talk about it. <BR/><BR/>My dad joined the Marines as soon as he was old enough, and fought in the war. He never spoke of it and we knew not to ask. <BR/><BR/>My mom only talks of it in vague terms. I know she and my grandparents and my aunt were all touched by the events of this day. Well we all were, weren't we? <BR/><BR/>My flag is flying and my heart is with the few remaining survivors of Pearl Harbor. Many live right here in San Diego and we make a big deal out of them each year. We don't forget!<BR/><BR/>http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20081207-9999-1m7pearlbox.htmlLauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262136596928409518noreply@blogger.com
