I Have been so intersted in following your dad's diaries. Such a treasure to keep. You have composed this beautifully. I am an avid family historian and love the historical links we can keep. What our family did makes us what we are today.

I read into this script the sense of relief and excitement to nearly be home. Thanks for sharing Hazel.

@Cherrill @creativeamateur Thank you for your comments. I must admit I started this 'serial' with a bit of trepidation and have been very happy that other 365ers have found it interesting. Last post tomorrow!
