Grand-mother loves the grand-child

So much so in fact that I can’t send her enough pictures. And when we meet each other they make tons of pictures, too. We are drowning in emails and when you are looking for that memorable picture of her 2^nd birthday when she spilt the milk you can’t find it.
In Modern-families you share pictures together with a story, the location, time and purpose. You will find the memorable ones even in 20 years. But Aunt and Uncle in Frankfurt love these pictures, too.

My daughter wants a mobile phone

And we don’t really want to buy her one just yet. Maybe somebody would sponsor it but we don’t want to ask.
My daughter updated her wish-list. Guess what! My parents-in-law bought it, I never even thought about them. 

Who was grand-pa?

He was born in Romania, which was Austria at the time, but then moved to Prague, and later elsewhere. I have heard it many times but keep forgetting it and don’t understand why he did all this.
I have started uploading some old documents I found about him and 2 stories my father provided. To my surprise a great-cousin of mine helped me by adding a number of pictures she inherited. That triggered some more…

Father feels lonely

Of course he will never admit it. But he is getting old, can’t travel much, tried to manage a PC but failed. He would love to live close to me but Geneva speaks French. He wants to know more what’s going on and at least be involved a bit.
So what I do is keep his profile up-to-date. This motivates relatives to call him, which is made easy with the 1-button-free call. Very soon my father will be able to get an update via a little talking rabbit. The other day he got pain again and went to the hospital. Everybody was informed in an instant. He is better again. This everybody got to know as well.

My wife was quite stressed lately as she is finishing her diploma

She spent only 1 minute a week to see what’s up in my family. After the diploma she will actively involve herself again.  

Uncle is looking for help to deal with

Good thing there was a board where he simply placed the question. A guy in Lisbon had just gone through it.

Who are these new in-laws in Paris?

I had no idea and my French was never very good.
But as my sister made friends with her sister-in-law, the new family got added; I could read who is who and where they are; and the built-in translation helped me understand better. At the next meeting it was even fun talking to them! 

What is my niece up to?

I feel I have never done enough for her, and being in Paris now it got worse. I didn’t even know how she did at school!
Thanks god, my sister kept me informed; and recently my niece started updating her profile herself.  

Celebrate my new product

As I was not sure you cared I sent out no email but placed a story on my profile. The same day a friend in Argentine chatted me up on it and the next day 3 relative offered some support - great!

Where is the rest of the family?

You can’t see them because a family tree cannot display more than one branch. In our site you see them all. 

My legacy

It may be early days but I want to be remembered by my grand-kids. One thing is to document my wild world-trip tales.

My fried Paul

He is my best friend and I share most of my experiences and emotions.
Whenever I update my profile he will see that as well. But he does not need to know my family in detail, so he won’t.
