January In December

January In December
By Bud Lemire on Dec 31, 2004

 
It was January in December
A day I’ll always remember
A card and letter came to me
From someone in my family tree
 Her Great Grandmother was a sister to my Grandfather
Pauline said the genealogist was Cherie, her daughter
So I looked on the net and found her number
As thoughts filled my head with wonder
 It was a rainy day here for us all
But the sun was shining when I called
Her husband Don picked up the phone
And I could tell there was a happy tone
 We confirmed information we both had
And I had a little data that I could add
She asked if there was anything she could do
I replied “yes, family groups leading down to you”
 What she wanted was to see pictures of the family
So I told her she could leave that up to me
We ended our conversation on a happy note
I felt so happy, I reread the letter she wrote
It’s times like this that are happy to remember
When touches of January come in December

 Pauline and Cherie BOWER’s ancestor Marie Louise Janviere
