Beautifully written. My mom grew up a coal miner's daughter in Coalwood, WV. She's not here anymore to ask her about those days, but I really love what you said about life cycles, death generations, mothers, grandmothers.... "turning of the shadows". Thanks for sharing.

I was in a rush, and driven to make something of myself as an early boomer. It wasn’t until I claimed my retirement that I slowed down and began to notice the scenery, and smell the roses. The more interests I develop from reading, I wonder what sort of a life I would have created for myself raising animals and/or crops in rolling farmland or the hills. I thank you for reminding me I’m a Ohio boy at heart.

Howdy, from an "Appalachian Irishman," in northeast Tennessee. Thank you for your very good article! The circle will be unbroken, by and by. The good in Appalachian heritage should be and is being preserved. Thanks for allowing this comment.
