Wow, that is great. Are you recording any of his stories? At one time I talked to my DH's grandmother about geneology. For about 2 years before she died, she would put all the birth, marriage and death dates all over any card she sent to us. She was from Armenia, so some of the information would have been very hard to get.

I really think that was an ivaluable lesson for your daughter on compassion. Great job!! |
