Pardon my silence, as I've been working on my first book which looks like it might turn out to be a memoir. It' mostly about my life though now I've hit a road block by including a chapter or two on my ancestors. All the research I have been doing on my ancestors has really taken me through a harsh past. I do love history, but when most of it involves loss and destruction and pain it becomes a difficult pill to swallow. I've learned a lot about my paternal grandmother's side of the family, but very little about his father who was from Kraguyevac in Montenegro. I also need to include my mother's side of the family, sadly, I have not gotten much information from my relatives in the Philippines. My son is now a teenager at twelve and thinks he is forty. He has been struggling with online school, failing in all his classes and not learning a thing. We both cannot wait for things to get back to "normal" and for him to resume his life as it was before Covid
