Visiting My Ancestry - The Story of Tom and Buena Davis, part 1

For me, it began with a love story. But not a romance. It was a story about the love that a child has for her grandparents. Over time, the story evolved into an investigation of the history of these people who had been the bedrock of my childhood…the when and the where of it all. And even more recently, an exploration and analysis of the psychology of my ancestors. The what and why of the life they carved out for themselves. And very, very often, the “HOW”. An attempt to understand the cloth from which I’m cut, so to speak.

I knew my grandparents first as my retreat, my place of joy, my earliest treasure, those whom I revered as flawless. I’ve come to know them, posthumously, as mortal beings, just like myself, prone to mistakes and missteps, capable of love and hate, joy and misery, grief and gratitude. They fell in love, married, had babies, lost children, survived the great depression and the drought of the 50’s. Tom and Buena Davis faced tragedy and grief that would lay most of us out flat in this day and age. The grit of their ancestors flowed through their veins. I hope some of it has passed down to me as well. Their story is the prequel to mine. And over the next few months, til the well runs dry, I’m going to dip deeply into the waters of the past and share my cup with you.
