When I was a small girl I discovered a big family tree that my great-grandmother, Louise Cork, had put together. I loved that thing! I lent it to my mom who won't give it back now, hint hint. Ever since then I've felt so close to Elsie Cork, my great-great grandmother, Louise Cork's former mother-in-law. I don't really know why although my friend Chrisandra Peterson thinks she may be my guardian angel, that's not the term she used but I can't remember exactly what she called her. Essentially she's the person who probably escorted me to this world and will meet me when I leave it and watch out for me in between. I don't know about that but it sounds good to me! I do know that although she died in 1923, 42 years before I was born, I felt her presence very strongly in the cemetery beckoning me over to their side of the family. I felt like she'd been waiting somewhat impatiently for me. It was a neat feeling. While my own religous belief is that after one dies ones spirit resides in the spirit world I also feel that they get around! The spirit world must be very close and for that reason they hang out with us a little bit, probably more than any of us knows.I know that my grandma Elsie was waiting for me that day, as was her daughter Gertrude and her son, my great grandfather, Walter aka "Pete" Cork. And I feel really excited about that. I loved being there with them and I really hated leaving. I am positive the veil that separates us from those on the other side is very thin indeed and if we are very lucky we get to see or feel through it just a little bit. And when that happens it is very sweet indeed.
I can't wait to see them again! Face to face!
