Annie's song by maggiemae

Annie's song

I just have to post this on here because it has such meaning! Annie was my father's first wife - she got her degree in Dunedin in the early 1900's as did my father. They married in 1913 and she died in 1931. She had some sort of cancer and spent months away up in Christchurch, Sending letters to my Dad - they were kept and I read them with tears. Nancy was her pet name for my father. The photo came from an old photo album and the letter from what was left for me.
Thankful for: I found where she was buried with online information and it happened to be near. I do put a special rose for her.

Of course, this is not part of today's date posting... its my choice!
oh my. what a moving narrative maggie

I have the original letter, Pat @happypat but the story might die in the future except for this composition!

@grammyn I have all the letters she wrote to her family while she was away, Katy! What shall I do with them - is the decision! None of that family is alive today!

A really poignant family memoir, thanks so much for sharing.

@golftragic It was completely unknown, Marnie - until I found the letters! My father never talked of his first wife - ever!

@maggiemae How sad that none of that family is alive to cherish them No children or grandchildren? cousins or extended relatives?
