No Death Date

As a family historian one of the facts I most hope to find for every ancestor and relative is a death date -- on a tombstone, a death certificate, or any other document.  But this is one time when I am positively delighted that there is no death date.

I've been absent from this blog and from all family history research for the past few weeks because my husband had a heart attack three weeks ago followed by open heart surgery for a triple bypass.  No death date is a very good thing this time.

I think it's a good idea to hug your living relatives and tell them you love them because you never know when the last time you'll see them will be.

    1. Thanks so much, Wendy. His need to go the hospital was surprising, then his need for bypass surgery was alarming. Recovery will take time but I am confident he'll be in good health in a few months. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. I appreciate it.
