As I sat this afternoon going through photos and writings and letters that belonged to my Great Aunt Billie, it made me rediscover my love for family history. Billie has no direct descendants. Her only child, a son called QB (Quincy Belle Jr.) died unexpectedly in the early 60s. He was only in his early 30s. There are so many wonderful pictures of him in this collection. Pictures that could potentially go unnoticed because most of the family doesn't know him. They know his name, but that's about all. I don't want my family's legacy to disappear. There are important stories to be told and handed down. I have no descendants. And even though I don't have much of a legacy to leave right now, I definitely do not want to be forgotten. That is all.
