Day 299

I went over to my mother's house to browse through her old photo albums. I was looking for some pictures of my father's mother who died when my father was a teenager. In addition to getting a wonderful photo album my mom put together for my father on the occasion of their second wedding anniversary, I also got another wonderful treasure. My mother's father fought in the Pacific during World War II and wrote prolifically to his new bride back in the states. So I have a whole footlocker of letters to help me learn about my mother's parents, who are also no longer with us. I can't wait to get started.
