My Father's Daughter
Friends & Family, I received my COBB Family Bible! Let me tell you who I am...
My Father is Don Ameche DANIELS. He is the only child born to William & Lovella {COBB} DANIELS {both deceased}.
Lovella was Daughter to Williard Leroy & Myrtle {PERRY} COBB. Myrtle was Daughter to Richard & Charlotte PERRY. Williard was Son to George & Mary {MARTIN} COBB.
From what I can tell all Families were originally from Kentucky & migrated across the bridge into Cincinnati, Ohio. The Cobbs were/are members of Trinity Missionary Baptist Church in the Madisonville community.
My Daniels Sisters & Brothers listed in the Bible are - Harry {the oldest}, Newana, Marcia, Dante Ameche & Raegan Lenora.
Today, after I told him my story, the Pastor of Trinity Missionary gave me the phone number of my Sisters {Newana & Marcia}, Mother - Margaret. Although afraid of the response, I could not resist calling.
Although my Sisters were not there, I spoke to their Aunt who, given the circumstances, was very gracious & patient with me. Without knowing me, I could hear compassion in her voice & that alone put me at ease. She explained some of the mysteries surrounding my Father & Family and provided a few names of others she thought could help explain more.
She told me of how my Sisters are Mothers, like me - one even a Grandmother! She also agreed to give my number to my Sisters, in the event they wanted to be in touch.
This evening when I arrived home, I had a voicemail FROM MY SISTER MARCIA! My Sister! Her message said that she'd received my number from her Aunt & that it was beautiful that I wanted to meet them! I'll be on the phone with her first thing tomorrow morning! Hope I can sleep tonight!:-)
Through the Creator's grace & one Act of Kindness (http://ourgeorgiaroots.com/?p=103), I am healing a void that I had long since believed healed.
Thanks to everyone who has offered me encouragement & support since this "journey" began just over 2 weeks ago.
I don't know by what miracle I arrived here & where the journey will travel next. I just know there is peace & I am blessed.
