I got on Family Search tonight for the first time basically ever. And it was amazing. Family really is everything. And I saved some things. This first drawing is one of my grandpa's, not from family search. Everything else is.
Art by Jon Burton as always. My grandpa who is definitely still alive.
My Great Grandma and Grandpa Hatch. Grandma Hatch was beautiful and I think that's where the looks came from on my Hatch side of the family. Grandpa Hatch was always smiling as far as I can remember. I just remember him having a loving presence.
Great Grandma and Grandpa Mann. Of all my great grandparents I think I had the closest relationship with them.
I'm going to add to this collection as I can. There aren't enough pictures on Family Search. I'm going to get portraits of all my great grandparents to put together in a collage, and I'll do the same for Ryan. It is so important to remember where we came from and who has our backs on the other side of the veil. And reading the life stories of my grandparents makes me want to straighten my posture and just work harder at life.
Family is a blessing.
I have also started saving art by my Great Grandpa Dave Burton.
