With a month left to go in 2019 I was thinking about my best and worst moments of the year.

My worst time of this year was in April when I was not able to walk. I have absolutely no idea exactly what happened but I suspect it was not entirely my knee that was the cause. When I was still in Memphis I was involved in an accident and I may have hurt my spine. All I know is in April I was not able to move or feel my leg much less walk on it. It took several months before I was comfortable walking on it. I remember the first time I tried to walk I nearly fell and almost gave up!!!

My best memory of 2019 is when my little sister brought her sons for a visit in July. I had met my oldest nephew right after he was born but had never met the other two boys. We went to the horst show that was going on at the fairgrounds here and had a good time. My sister is my dad's daughter. My dad also has a son who I also met when I got to visit them in Newport in 1998 right after my oldest nephew was born. My dad had another wife between my mother and theirs so I wonder if one day I am going to open up my ancestry matches and see another sibling. I already have a match to one of my dad's younger sisters from his mother -- Aunt Frankie -- but she refuses to have anything to do with any of us which is a shame. I have found some DNA matches between Aunt Frankie and both my Jordan and Hastings families so I am really wondering who Aunt Frankie's real father was!!!
