First Blog

I have never done this before. I like to write, so maybe I will put pen to paper (key to laptop) and try to put some thoughts down. I have tried to write before, but found it hard to keep up with a journal. I have even considered children's books. I am best at short stories or essays. I'm a little apprehensive about someone else reading what I write.

I turned 55 about a month ago. I don't know why I would worry about someone else reading this. I have been married to Mike McComas for 35 years this May. Mike and I had three wonderful children born to our marriage. Ryan was born in 1975. Krista in 1980 and Amanda in 1981. Each one is unique and each one is very special to us. Ryan left this earth on January 14, 1997. He was 21 years, 4 months and 11 days old. Krista and Amanda are still with us and have added to our family. JJ (James) was born in 2005, Dominic in 2007 and Amara 2008.

I have wished time and again that I had asked my great-grandmothers, grandparents and even my parents more questions. I wish they had written more things down. I wish I knew more about my family. For that reason I plan to write down more things for my grandchildren so they will know where they came from, who they are, history wise. I will take my friend Ted as an example. Hope you don't mind. I will try to go back and write the history as I remember it. I will also try to keep up with what is happening in the here and now.
