As I mentioned last week, I'm definitely writing another book. And because I'm not one to waste any time once I make a decision, I can now tell you that I've already started doing the research for it.
I must admit, it has been a little bit challenging so far. My grandparents and a lot of the people who knew my father best have died. His remaining friends and family live all over the world.
So far I have spoken to some of my European relatives, and I've really enjoyed reconnecting with those whom I haven't seen in years. I've also enjoyed speaking with cousins whom I've never met.
Because he never spoke much about his childhood or what happened after World War II, there were a lot of things I didn't know about my father until extended family began sharing stories after he died. Now I want to know even more.
The next challenge will be trying to separate facts from family legend. But that should be fun!
So until next time, "That's life..."
