Thanksgiving Approaches
I was listening to a bit of my grandma's funeral service recording. Not yet ready for my mom's, but as next month is the 10 year anniversary, I'll do hers then. My mom only did a short segment for grandma, to read a poem, that apparently she read every Thanksgiving at grandma's? But I don't remember that, or the poem. My memory is so shot on these sorts of things. It's embarrassing.The poem title is "Family Ties", a quick search found its text here and written by Allie J. Hilder in 1954. Though my mom spoke a few differences: "golden memories" instead of "olden moments", which I think is better due to the "silver" later on. And she used "Lord" instead of "God".
Anyway, here's the complete text, using my mom's pair of differences rather than the link's text. Maybe I'll have to bring the tradition back, and at least read it to myself. Alas, I didn't really take up the caring about family bits of personality which my grandmothers on both sides had so much in abundance.
