Do you ever wonder if the people who came before you had similar difficult circumstances? Sometimes, it's hard to believe that your emotions and situations are the same as other people's experiences, that your difficult times aren't the most difficult, or even the most joyful that anyone has ever experienced.
When I stand in the house built by my family on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay, though, I feel the strength of my family run through me. I am grounded in the knowledge that I'm a link in a chain of women and men stretching back into the mists of the past. What a wonderful thing to realize during a difficult time!
