Journaling: Wanda - You were my mother’s first cousin, and you and she would both correspond, even though you never met. You lived in a small village in Poland, while my mother lived all of her life in Chicago. Your father and my maternal grandmother were brother and sister. After Rick & Sarah went to Poland on a genealogy quest, by the grace of God, you were able to connect. And then began our correspondence, you would send me cards at Christmas and Easter. You were concerned that my mother had not written for some time. I had to gently inform you that she had passed. You somehow understood, even with the language barrier. We were invited to your grandson’s wedding. We decided to make the trip, to meet my cousins in this strange land, the birthplace of my grandparents. You and I met on September 30, 2016, I brought you a small photo album of your American family. We hugged and kissed. With a translator present, we could communicate. You were not feeling well. In fact, you were unable to attend your grandson’s wedding. You were 88 years old. It was the first time and the last time we would meet. You passed away less than three months later in December of 2016.

What a beautiful story, Marilyn. I love the message of family and connections and what a blessing that you and Wanda finally got to meet. Beautiful layout. Love all of the stacking under the picture.
 
Beautiful layout. So glad you got to meet and correspond. I'll bet you learned a lot of family history that you wouldn't have otherwise.
 
What a lovely story. I am a bit envious of you being able to connect with the past in this way. A "good" envious.You have showcased her in a wonderful way. All those layers are great.
