1898
On this day in 1898 my granddad was born to Daniel and Delia Wheat. Edwin E. Wheat grew up to become a teacher, principal, a member of the NAACP and a leader in his community.

Great-Grandpa Abe
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"

The Journey
Life should
not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow! What a Ride?’!’
-Hunter S. Thompson
