whole new family

I am now in contact with several people from my son's father's family. and my son now has a very full family tree!! with all branches represented!! this makes me very happy. this has also given me a chance to apologize to his father's family for mistakes made in the past so that we all can move on from here. it is always good to remember that while we love digging into the past, we cannot dig very far without the relationships we have now.

daydreams

here is my page for what did you want to be when you grew up and how does that compare to who you are now?

childhood religion
