These family stories represent our ancestors, our present day family and our friends. Many have taken place during years and even decades past and others have only recently happened. A few have been passed down from generation to generation, often discussed at family get-togethers These memorable stories of our lives and of others in our family take on special importance because they are true. In a way they will become family heirlooms held in the heart not the hand. They are a gift to each generation that preserves them by remembering them and passing them on. I especially wanted to record events from my own life so that future generations of our family will come to know us.
Me - Through the lens of a camera I came to see the world rather than just look at it. Then a friend encouraged me to put words to those photos so as they could follow our travels. I have never looked back!
John - husband of 30 years and best friend, a logical thinker, gentle and compassionate by nature. We share fate's joys and sorrows together, embrace life, explore the country and share our world.
Kimberly - bubbly, vivacious, empathetic and one of the most honest people I know. She is a constant joy to be around.
Alex - reserved, sensitive, caring and generous...the thinker whom I am enormousy proud to call my son
Ben - considerate, selfless and mature beyond his years, left this life all too young. Benny taught us just how short life can be so that we must embrace it.
