1) Born in Raleigh, NC
2) Mom yes, Father no (passed away 12 years ago)

What a cool series idea! I was born in North Platte, Nebraska. My parents are still alive (in fact, they work and volunteer at the same school I work at!). I live 897 miles from where I was born (after we moved away when I was two, the closest I’ve lived to my birthplace is 764 miles).

Love the Q&A angle, Lisa. What a fun way to share your story while others share there’s. I didn’t see that you claim to be a networker extraordinaire – but this does it. I’m so sorry about your parents passing. My oldest daughter also died in 2010. I guess that was a sad year.

(1) Where were you born? Alma, Michigan

(2) Are your parents still alive? My dad died of congestive heart failure when I was 19. My mom died of cancer when I was 50.

(3) How far away do you live now from where you were born? While I lived most of my youth in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and am about 500+ miles from there, I am about 180 miles from where I was born.

I always love your questions, Lisa. I’m sorry your parents are gone. Mine are, too, my mom in 2006 and my dad in 2010. This summer our family reunion was three days from my mom’s birthday. My sister had her daughter make a cake, and we sang Happy Birthday to our mom. It really touched my heart. It was something my mom loved so. I was born in California, but we moved to Iowa when I was in Kindergarten. My husband and I now live in SD. So I’m a long way from where I was born! Love and hugs to you!

Such a neat series. Here are my answers:
(1) Where were you born? Upstate South Carolina

(2) Are your parents still alive? My mom is; my dad died in 1999. My mom remarried in 2002 to my step father. They both live down the street from me.

(3) How far away do you live now from where you were born? I live about one hour from where I was born.

Lisa, hi!

This is a unique 31 Days idea, for sure! I’m a big fan of thought-provoking questions … and will be using some of yours to spark some thoughts in my journaling this month. Thanks so much going there. I hope you have fun posting each day!

I was born in Kenton, Ohio. My dad passed away in 1978, when he was only 41 years old, of a brain aneurysm. My mom just passed away on April 10th of this year, she was 80. I miss them both dearly. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of them. But, it warms my heart to think that they are together with Jesus, rejoicing, after all those years apart. I now live about 30 miles from where I was born.

I was born in western TX, but moved southeast as a baby and lived along the TX coastline, though in different parts of it, til I went to college. My parents died 11 and 13 years ago. I live about 1,200 miles from where I was born.
