Today My Grandma Died.

This is just a short video with my Grandma explaining that she couldn't talk.

Grandma talking about primarily her mother and her early life in Acton, North Dakota

Hi. This is us again. Today is Saturday, December 02, 2006 and I was very pleased to find our Grandmother during a time that we could talk. We started the interview at about 11:30 pm. I hadn’t realized when we started that she had something on the stove. True to form my Grandmother thought first of us. I hope I can do as much for her. She always has so many, many neat thoughts. I very much see pictures and images as she talks and I feel myself transposed to other times and places. This video is about an hour long. There were a few qualifying questions like name and age, but then we slipped back into a session talking primarily about what she remembered about her Mother. A special treat in time was hearing how much her mother and family was and is honored. She stated that back in her day, we were taught to love our family. I think a lot of my Grandmother and her values. I hope you enjoy this session.

This is the start of the interview questions with my Grandma

Dedicated to Myrtle T.

This blog is dedicated to a wonderful woman, Myrtle T. She is my grandma. We will be recording conversations with her as we explore her life. Our resource for this will be a book "Recording Your Family History," by William Fletcher. We've been talking to my Grandma (We=I'm a multiple so "we" literally is just a one bodied person) for a while now about family history. Periodically, stories will come up, but I feel that I am missing them because of my moderate impairment in memory recall. My Grandma and us have talked about her aging and that soon enough it is going to be her time. She is 98 years old and she feels that most of her good friends have already gone on. I'm so scared of never hearing her voice again. The time for this project has to start now. I have to be strong to meet the wonder of my Grandmother's life. This is the first video recording her history and thoughts. This one exactly starts the process of starting the process.

Please enjoy.

This is my Grandma's and my first video
