They are in their 80's and my dad loves to tell stories over and over again. Now that my sisters and I are older, we don't tell him "we've heard this before dad." Instead we listen and watch others enjoy his stories. I myself listen closely so that I'll remember the stories well enough to retell.

I love the image, back story, and poem about your "Great Aunt Tom" how fascinating–as was the commentary you wrote about her when visiting before she passed on–difficult yet beautiful and rich moments.

Such serendipity that you arrived when you did. Maybe you can fictionalize the making of Great Aunt Tom's notebook. It sounds like there are a lot of stories in there.

I do understand about the questioning. There are many I'd love to go back to ask, especially to my grandparents. When we're young, we ask those 'now' questions, don't we, like "When can we go pick blackberries? or "When is Aunt Jean coming to visit?", rarely ones for future memory. I'm glad for the reminder, and love your poem and picture. Have a wonderful time at NCTE!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
