And
with that, I pass it on to other family to carry on the search and
research in family history. With the emergence of very bright and
dedicated figures like Patrick Vella (a distance relative through the
Govias), I feel that this family history is in good hands. Patrick was a
Godsend. Passionate and dedicated. And for the first time in years, I
didn't feel alone.
Struggling
to meet the demands of obsessively long working hours, and paying
bills; going through the "Groundhog cycle", and trying to find some
relaxation in off-time in hobbies that I love, combined with seemingly
rewardless research into family history, it's time for me to give it
away, and leave it in more capable hands.
There are simply not enough hours in the working week for me to do this justice.
Perhaps
no one knows that this blog was actually a "mistake". Look at the URL.
Have you ever seen such an odd URL? The reason for that is that a short
time after creating it - I deleted it. But then I decided to restore it,
with a different and longer URL. I was surprised that I could even
restore it.
There
comes a time when one must sail into the sunset, and leave the world
and its troubles behind, and let the work go on in far more capable
hands.
Throughout
this whole project, I've often asked myself, "why do you keep doing
it?" That's a question for which I still don't have a satisfactory
answer.
I
wish the best for present and future family history researchers. You
have my blessing. And I hope you recover treasures beyond measure.
But for me, it's time to say goodbye.
