April Celebrations among My Ancestors and Relatives

This is a great month for celebrating living relatives -- my sister, one of my grand-daughters, a niece and her husband, and two nephews.  It's also a month to remember my cousin, Belinda, not with us long enough but still remembered and loved.

I did not know any of my grand-parents who have birthdays this month, and only handful of the collateral relatives I'm celebrating.  In a lifetime, we often don't have the opportunity to personally know more than one generation beyond our parents.
