I had the same idea as Gill. I learned we had a WWI casualty and felt so guilty that I hadn't known there'd been one in the family that I set out to look for him. Once I'd found him I told myself I could get on with other things in my life.
As you can see, I'm still here because old family stories kept popping into my mind and out came the notebook and off I went searching in dark corners to see if any of them were true. They were, but I still didn't stop because around every corner there's a big surprise waiting to be discovered.
