I wish I'd written down the information shared by my husband's grandfather about the wagon train. He was on the last one out of Nebraska.

I wish I'd asked more about my maternal grandmother's growing up years. Her mother died shortly after childbirth of her fourth child. So how did the family handle all that?

My father's mother let it be known that my brother was her favorite, but I wish I'd been able to get around all that and ask her about her family. Family lore now has it that she was forced into marrying, and it would be good to know if that was true or not. If so, it would explain a lot, but on the other hand, why would that have been done? She was the only girl in that family.

And there are things I'd like to explain to my son and his wife, but they aren't interested. It's all about her.
