Living history

Posted by tom | May 18, 2007

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to see a number of Grosh family photos which stretched from the late 19th century through the 1980s.  Lots of memories and loss of memories.  This morning, when I began the new day, I had once again remembered my dream from last night.  But almost an hour with the girls and it has faded away except that it was about remembering, possibly even living in, the past.  Maybe it will come back to me later, in another form Wink 

Eden is fascinated with the pictures on the computer.  Sometimes I set them to scroll as she calls out for baby (i.e., Ari, Jaycob, and herself), at other times she catches them on the screensaver feature.  Yesterday, instead of bemoaning every picture that wasn't a baby, she started to identify the pictures (Hayley, Ellen, Mommy, Daddy).  I think that Hayley and Ellen may have nurtured her in that direction by sitting w/her at times and reminding themselves (and her) of the various people and places (including a number of our old house).  Eden identifies all our basement project pictures as Gock-ah (Grandpa Ginder) . . . She always thinks he's close by waiting to visit.
