Generational Gifts: The Legacy Of Evelyn Marie: My grandmother left a legacy when she passed from this life. In a folder containing hundreds of her unpublished poems I discovered a treasure. Her poems told of her dreams and disappointments, her love and loss, and her resilience in an era of economic depression and world war.
Deeply impacting, emotionally challenging, humorous, soulful, and honest her poetry was a creative expression of her life and a healing balm for her grief. It is a wonderful gift to all future generations. This story peeks into a young girl’s life filled with challenges. She overcame these challenges and developed into a beautiful young woman. It tells of a young love affair that collapses into a tail of abuse and alcoholism.
Her life shifts again as she enters into a romantic adult love affair. She finds love again in the midst of the Great Depression. She marries and becomes a mother in 1932. In the aftermath of the economic financial crises she gives birth to a second child and indulges in a life that ends with the death of a family member. As she works though this terrible tragedy she is offered a third chance for happiness, but life as she knew it only offers her loneliness and leaves her longing for a more loving relationship.
Her desires are answered in the eyes of a blue eyed sailor, who offers her his love and devotion. Their life together blossoms providing a wealth of memories. These memories are captured through her words, her children, and grandchildren’s experiences in life.
It is my hope that this book will encourage others to write about their own family memories and share their gifts with generations of readers all around the world.
