Blessed are all grandfathers who filed every legal document, For they provided the proof. Blessed are the grandmothers who preserved family Bibles and diaries, for they preserved our heritage. Blessed are fathers who elect officials that answer letters of inquiry, For some, they are the only link to the past.
