When children are growing up they are not interested in family history. If I should bring the subject up the answer would usually be, I know Dad, when you were young you milked ten cows before breakfast and walked ten miles to school in the snow!. It wasnt that they didnt care they were not interested. However, when they married and had children of their own they wanted to know more of the family history so they could pass it on to their children. Dad, we dont know anything about your family history, fill us in. Now they were interested. That started me to thinking. I didnt know much about my family tree. I would give anything to know more about my parents background and everyday life when they were growing up, guess I never asked! It occurred to me if I started writing a few facts about myself, in two or three generations future grandchildren would know.People who have read my story have said it has given them the idea to do the same for their children. One of the many reasons for writing Flowers For Cina, is to encourage parents to write about their everyday life.
