Yes please Sally, I'm a big family history fan and would love to hear more sounds like an interesting life.


My great great great grandfather also died young and left a family of six they were tough times.

That's a beautiful story Sally, though very sad, doubly sad actually. I hope that during the 25 years your grandfather lived he enjoyed a wealth of happy and fulfilling days. I enjoyed reading your story and your poem.

Thank you everybody, I am so excited to be able to get these stories out. I have been working hard on a few poems because alot of you have given me some amazing advice so I have been flat out trying to make them a bit better and get my thoughts out. I feel like my poems are a bit wordy at times so I will be very interested about what you think about the poem I will be posting today because I have really tried to get it to flow. sometimes I feel exhausted after reading some of my poems and I don't know what that means but I don't think it is good hahaha.

The best poems are those that come from the heart Sally. We all had the same fears of sharing our first poems Sally - it's like releasing a child to the world. Thanks for sharing.

Heather :)
