I love when I come across keepsakes, something little that holds some sentimental value to a family member who is no longer with us. This is a great example. My paternal uncle kept his high school cafeteria pass and his high school Driver Education Certificate. They must have been a reminder of some good times he had in high school. For someone like me, it gives a glimpse into my family member's life.
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.

Photo of the Day
This is a photo from my paternal aunt's wedding day on 27 November 1970. She is posing in her family's living room in New Castle, Delaware with her maternal aunt, who was standing in as the mother of the bride, because her mother had died nearly two months before her wedding day. I'm sure it had to have been a bitter-sweet day for everyone.
