Kindred Footprints: A Blogger's Best Friend Award

This weekend I found 'A Blogger's Best Friend Award' in my inbox. Thanks so much to Lori of the Genealogy and Me blog for sending this to me. Lori is one of the most cheerful geneabloggers out there and has a great family history blog. If anyone should get this award, it should be Lori.

The "A Blogger's Best Friend Award" shall be given to your most loyal blog readers. Thus, the award should be given to a follower of yours who takes the time to comment regularly on many of your posts. In addition his or her blog should be creative, funny and always entertaining. Upon receiving this award, pass it along to two fellow bloggers who fit this criteria. Congratulations!

So without further adieu, the 'BBF' award shall go to;

(1) Kelly at Herstoryan
One of the first geneabloggers I met, she always has something nice to say and following her blog is a pleasure. Go snuggle up at Herstoryan's Hearth and transform yourself back in time to your ancestor's life.

(2) Caroline at Family Stories
Always there with encouraging words and a quirky sense of humor that never quits. You never know what you'll find when you head to Family Stories but you can be sure it will be thoughtful, intelligent and sprinkled with that wicked sense of humor AND she's a poet.

And a big Thank You to everyone who has taken the time to stop by my blog and leave a comment. I love to hear from you and appreciate you all!!

Dear Ancestor

Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marble stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder how you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.
