Celebrating New Year's Day at the Pollock home in 1985 with my Mother and Father, and with my two sisters and brother. The memory is sweet, not being able to do it this year or next year makes me feel a bit lonely.

Love... Lest We Forget
It was always good to be together as a family as we celebrated Christmas. Many a cherished event brought us together. We still continue get together when we can. Traditions are strong... and none so strong as the love that links the generations together.

68th wedding anniversary
December 18, 1941 John and Madeline Oleson on their wedding day. Mom's dress is blue. She wore it out and then threw it away. Years later she's heard to say, "Why did I throw away my Wedding Dress?!!" We know why... a little house full of family with only one closet. Mom didn't store or keep much!
We have a picture of them on their 25th Wedding Anniversary but I don't have it scanned yet. I would love to take a picture of them on their 68th anniversary. I miss them so much. Occasionally I am blessed to have a sweet dream and see them.

Memories
Steven Pollock and Matt sitting in Grandpa's green chair.
Ken and I changed the flowers out at the cemetary on November 19th as we reflected on Matt's life and how very dear he is to us. We miss him so very much.
