Meet My Grandmother



Her name was Rosie. She raised three boys who would fight in WWII. One of them was my favorite uncle. He fought on Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Okinawa. He died years later from a fungal infection of the ear he picked up on Guadalcanal that eventually went to his brain. She lost two boys when they were one year old or less. She died from complications secondary to a tubal pregnancy in 1931. She was 41 years old. She is buried in Riverland Cemetery. My niece looks like my mom who in turn looked like Rosie. I like that her name was Rosie.

There aren't a lot of Rosies anymore.

There aren't a lot of mothers of three boys who end up in a war these days, either.

I love old photographs...

Like I always say, don't pick up ears on Guadalcanal...

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the Vampires Lord on his Email: richvampirekindom@gmail.com
