I could not find a good story to share this week for the topic High and Low. But I would imagine all of the ancestors had those in their lives just like you or I do today. Whether it was the loss of a job or a home. A sudden loss of a loved one or birth of a long awaited cherished child. Maybe there were health problems that created the ups and downs in life. Someone finally found the love of their life and lived happily ever after. Severe weather events or the vacation of a lifetime. The first in a family to graduate from high school or college. Or maybe as simple as a hug from someone that you haven't seen in awhile. Sometimes I look at the sparse events of an ancestor's life and wonder what they really went through and what events they would call their highs and lows. Did the farmer have a good crop this year to get his family through the winter? Did a family lose a loved one in a war? Some events are both a high and a low. As when a young married couple leave the country of their birth hoping for a better life in a new country, knowing they would never see their family again. All of these highs and lows are so relative to each individual. A low for one person may be a high for someone else. It just wouldn't be life without all of it.
