Bertha Connally Abraham

B. Connally Abraham wrote If Only for a Season, because like Elizabeth Catlett “I want my life to be constructive; I am not interested in being rich or famous or important, but to make my life important.”  I want my life to reflect the process of building up, not tearing down. I want someone to look at my life and see that their dreams are possible too. And at the end of the day when the light in my eyes grow dim I want someone to recognize my life’s work not just because of me but because of the one who gave to me that which I gave back.

I am married to John my high school sweetheart.  Michael, Jay and Brad make up the Abraham family circle along with my terrific and only grandson, Zach.  Brad no longer has a physical address but his presence is felt every day. Travel is my greatest passion with the exception of family and friends there is nothing that I enjoy more. Reading, writing and gardening fall right in line at a close second, third and fourth respectively.  Books allow the impossible to become possible by simply engaging the imagination. It is equally as enjoyable visiting Yellowstone National Park through the pages of a book to experience its majestic beauty.
