A Mother’s Song

Cherie Trowler

Cherie Trowler

I have a grand niece. Her name is Cherie Trowler. She is on Facebook. Her son, Derik, is getting married. I learned that bit of information from Cherie’s Facebook page.

Cherie informs me:

“Derik just graduated with a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering and is going on for his PHd. His girlfriend Christina just graduated with her Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering and going on for her Masters. Yep, I am proud.”

I post that here because it illustrates a lesson about one of the values of engaging in genealogy. That lesson is that each of us are an extension of our ancestors. That is to say, families evolve and grow into the future.

There is another lesson as well. Social websites, such as Facebook, permit us to keep up with our families, wherever they are. A reminder of one of the positive attributes of modern technology.

Being a mother, Cherie writes: “This song tells it all.”

Were I not engaged in genealogy all this would have passed me by. With Derrick’s marriage the evolution of the Wood family continues on.
