A Brief Final Note
When I started my blog I wondered if I had three or four months to write. Two and a half years earlier I was diagnosed with stage four cancer, and after operations, radiation and many rounds of chemo, I was pronounced “terminal.” That was nearly two years and 170 posts ago. It was a great distraction for me and I filled many enjoyable hours working on these stories. I learned so much U.S. history in investigating my family's lives. Now, the stories I still have to tell will have to be left unsaid. I am in hospice and lack the energy it takes to spend so many hours researching and writing. Thanks to anyone who ever took the time to read any of my posts.
