Mom told me that today is the anniversary of Grandpa Abe's death. He's been gone for 68 years. He passed away in 1945. He was born a slave and after slavery, he fulfilled his dream of owning land, marrying the girl of his dreams (great-grandma Dollie), having children and prospering, which all came true.
Children:
My grandma once said to my mom, "People are dead much longer than they are alive." When mom told me this, I didn't think to much about it but over the years as I remember loved one and hear about my ancestors, it begins to make sense.
I'm adding a video of a poem that I love performed by Oscar Brown, Jr. - "This Beach"
