Since he was 12? WOW…the life your Pa must’ve had. And I’m wondering if you’re the only one that knows this…are you the one to carry on this tradition?

I admire people who remember and respect the dead.

Sometimes I find it unsettling to be confided in by my own father. He’d forget who I am and say things that are meant to be told to a close friend, and I wonder if it’s good for our father-daughter relationship for me to know him that well.

I love the image evoked in the phrase “she wrung her hands…” I have always had a soft spot for that phrase. Great post.

What a moving piece!

I can picture him so clearly. And I feel like I know what makes him “tick.”

Lovely post.

it makes me curious who is going to bury Pa and keep his grave from sinking?

I really love the flow you created.

Enchanting…You are one of the few people who can make me sigh and smile at the same time.

Beautiful, just beautiful…

My mother, father and grandmother were cremated. I have no graves to visit. I feel robbed. They wanted to save money. They did not know how I would long to sit at their burial site and talk. Talk about what was and what is and what may be to come.

Your blog is beautiful.

This is really beautiful. I look forward to reading more of your blog. Thanks for stopping by today!

Great writing. Thanks for visiting.

This is wonderful… thank you for sharing it. I love your words and I’ll be back.

You write beautifuly. Pa sounds like a wonderful man.

This is perfect. Absolutely perfectly written.
Hope things are going well for you. Wrote a McDowell Co.-esque thing on my blog “La Femme Nikita”.

Catching up with your blog, B. I like the brevity of this piece and the feel of this family’s history as it drips from the words. Great writing.

And life comes full-circle…

A quiet moment, and an important reflection. I’m sure he carried a piece of the place with him always.

But you’re an excellent story teller. You’ve inspired me to start to collect my own family’s stories. It’s a passion of mine I’ve put off for too long. Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.
