A Gift for My Family and Yours
I wrote this little book as a gift to the family I do not know; some I have never met, others rarely seen in the past 88 years. I want them to know me, to feel their connection with me as an ancestor, to pass down this gift to the younger generations.
What qualities and life lessons do I have that might benefit the people in my family tree? Before I die, could I gift them something of me? And for those readers who are separated from family by distance, differences of human values, misunderstandings, would you find this little book a sample inspiration for creating your own unique gift?
A simple gesture, a favorite song, a life story, a flower, photograph, calligraphy, collage for the family who doesn’t know you? Will you allow them to discover who you are, to touch them with your life?
