All of these people have been gone for years, decades even, but their memory endures with me.
- Grandpa & Nana Johnson
- MeMe & Papa Nelson

Uncle Paul, who taught me to love nature, geography, and the national parks. He was in my life a brief 10 years but his influence has lasted a lifetime.

Aren’t you thankful for the memories and the photos???
That’s a hard one for me. While I’m glad for the memories I don’t handle death well, even though I know half of them I’ll see again, unfortunately I don’t know if I’ll see the other half again. Thanks for commenting, Ana

Family, remembering, loving, enjoying brings peace to our soul. To reflect back is to pull forward those things that made us who we are. Thanks for sharing.
I agree. My memories have been invaluable lately esp in times of stress. Thanks for the insightful comments. I always appreciate what you offer to the conversation. Ana
