Your memories are needed for this site.
The Tapestry of Life is enormous, complex and beautiful. In Greek tradition, the Fates collected the threads of human life from the void, measured each one, cut them to length and wove them into an epic saga.
Stories end every day. Unless we share them, they will be lost. This blog is in small part, an effort to remember. When a thread comes to an end and another voice goes silent, the tapestry remains. When someone dies, a part of humanity dies with them. But when the memory lingers, so too does an echo of that original unique voice.
Too many of our storytellers have passed on and many great tales have been lost. It is important to acknowledge and celebrate their lives.
The idea is simple… to share memories. What better way to reconnect to a loved one or even get to know someone you never met?
Family history, tradition and lineage must be shared. We need to know more than names and dates written in an old Bible or on some census form. Stories reveal so much more.
The hope is that every story you read here will trigger another memory that you can share. Get the elderly to talk. Listen, remember and pass on their tales. We need to understand how the lives of departed loved ones shaped, outlined and guided our own.
‘I REMEMBER’ will be predominantly for memories of family and friends. It isn’t just for the Lantz Family. Likely to evolve over time, an entry will be devoted to each departed person. As you send me your stories, I will add them. Each account will be updated whenever more memories are added.
There is no limit on submissions. All will be appreciated.
Together we can create our own tapestry.
