Family History

The first day home visiting with Dad he fairly quickly drifted to the topic of his longevity. He wondered why he was still here, what was it he still needed to do here on earth?

When I asked him what his best guess was he said he felt like he had learned so much the last few years. It seemed he was acknowledging that the last few years weren't a waste in any way but wondered what more there was for him to accomplish still. The only thing he could think of was that he needed to finish his life history. It really weighed on him that he couldn't leave it in such disarray. He felt very pressed to complete it.

So that's what we worked on the entire week.

We certainly didn't finish it but we made some headway in sorting and thinning materials so that it wasn't overwhelming to Dad or anyone able to lend a hand to help. I thought that if there was a central clearing house for the project people could discuss what has been done, what still needs to be done and coordinate the effort so that it gets done, and not in duplicate (or 11 i cate)

I'm not sure this will be this blog site will be the best venue or whether we can up and down load files to this site. I'll find out shortly.

Its late and I'm falling asleep typing. I'll try and summarize the where we got to soon.

Love,
