"We all grow up with the weight of history on us."

Day 6 ~ "We all grow up with the weight of history on us. Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies." ~Shirley Abbott  

Today's happiness was in meeting members of our family that we never knew we had! John Harvey traced my Dad through the Commando Association. John's Dad and Dad's Dad were brothers - and Dad's Dad died 2 months before Dad was born. 

It was wonderful to spend some time with long lost family and feel such a sense of kindredness and to feel so completely at home with them! 

So looking forward to more time spent with John, Anne and their family. Niamh in particular is very taken with her new 3rd cousins!! :)
