I've been learning and thinking this summer. And I've concluded that those hard dysfunctional things are exactly WHY you have to write/learn about your family history. Those are the MOST IMPORTANT parts. At some point there is someone who has overcome. And that is an example you want every one of your descendants to learn from. It is good to understand the dysfunctional and move on. I have been so inspired by the hard stories in my family history, that I don't have to be perfect, I can make mistakes, and things move on. And I can learn not to make the same mistakes again. What is it they say, Those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it? It is the dysfunctional part of my history that is the most valuable to me. Good luck to you. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to deal with it.Janet Hovorkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07456985050735871822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205499917635332692.post-84560543387896210272012-04-25T05:35:04.817-06:002012-04-25T05:35:04.817-06:00Thank you for posting the letter.

This post gives me second thoughts about telling that story.A. Lynchhttp://franklincountyhistory.discernings.com/noreply@blogger.com
