A New Life

in veterans •  4 years ago 

I started this steemit blog to honour my father - a WWII hero and since the last time I posted he has since passed on - On Jan 12 2019 he breathed his final breath and left his world - In June 2019 I had the honour of fulfilling one of his requests and deliver his uniform and present it to Juno Beach Museum on Juno Beach France. We were supposed to go back again this year to dedicate his display but COVID shut that down and we have no idea if or when we will be going back. It was a pleasure to write about my father and currently I am working on writing his story and publishing a book.

Prior to my father passing I lost my 31 year old daughter in November of 2018. She passed from a congenital heart defect she battled her whole life. My daughter was bibliophile who's appetite for books was enormous. Early in 2018 she asked me to do a business plan for her to buy and sell rare and antique books which I did but we never completed that dream due to her untimely passing. I decided after my father's passing that I would carry on her passion and I created Raven Wolf Rare & Antique Books.

So this Steemit Blog will go from a World War II Hero to talking about rare and antique books - the name will stay to honour my father and the new content will be presented to honour my daughter.
