Family history is a small hobby for me. I've become fascinated with the stories of my grandparents and my ancestors. I was able to spend a couple of days with my grandparents. Each time I am at their house, I feel that I get a glimpse of their personal histories. They told me a few stories this weekend, which was a lot of fun. It is fun to see the differences and similarities between the way their lives were when they were young, and the way my life is now.
I really appreciate visits like this because sometimes, when I'm researching family history, I feel distant from the names I see on my family tree. I often see a lot of facts, dates, and places. I still enjoy looking into family history, but I really appreciate reminders of how real that history is. The visit to my grandparents' house this weekend reminded me of that, for which I am grateful.
