My cousins, older sister and I are traveling to Sweden this summer. We are reaching beyond our immaginations and seeking out our Grandpa's relatives and we will stand on Grandpa's homeland. I have written letters, sent some emails and made some connections. Our adventure is sketched out on a map that my cousin from Sweden gave me. We have names of certain people written on their home towns. I finger the folded map book and trace our destinations. How will I really get from here to there?
There is a small band of us sisters approaching the motherland!! I hope my emails haven't come as warnings but are being received with great anticipation. Do they wonder about their loved ones that left Sweden for America?
I have many of these postcards! What does this card say? A treasured word from back home. 
Ragunda, My Grandpa's home. I can't wait to see Ragunda! 
In my heart, I hope to return to Sweden even before I get there once.
