Family




We all grow up with the weight of history on us.  Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies.  ~Shirley Abbott


{me with Grandpa Pete}



What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories.  ~George Eliot



{me and my Bro}


We cannot destroy kindred:  our chains stretch a little sometimes, but they never break.  ~Marquise de Sévigné





{the five of us at Christmas circa 1965}






Family faces are magic mirrors.  Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future.  ~Gail Lumet Buckley
