Two months
Sixty-one days
Sixty-one memories of your smile
Sixty-one wishes for your stories
Two mysterious photographs
Too many days
without you.

RIPDaddy
Last week a genealogist doing a one name study of Duguay found my dad’s obituary here. After getting a bit of basic information that could connect into his database, he sent me Dad’s family line back to 1620 in Burgundy, France. I then did a little additional research. Dad would have been intrigued, especially to know that at 1672 we share a common ancestor with some famous people: Hillary Clinton (American politician), Tom Mulcair (Canadian politician), Anne Hébert (Canadian author and poet).

What a lovely tribute to your father- and interesting connections.
Thank you.
Genealogy brings us so many fascinating connections. The days, weeks and months without a loved one’s presence are only bearable when he or she connects with us in spirit.
How interesting it would be to know about these generations of people and their experiences.
