Well, well, I knew you could do it; all you sisters and nieces, spouses and friends could laugh and carry on once again. The reflection here is also one in which I can relate, having grown up in a Catholic brood too. I’ve also had the privilege to observe the magic that happens when a functional group spends time together. I believe that having females in close birth order is key. With a matriarch who loved words and reading you have spice that makes this stew, rich and nourishing. The patriarch seemed to be from what little I know, a man who worked hard and believed in his female daughters ability to do what she put her mind to. So you all are lucky, blessed and damn talented women! I love all the laughter and big hearts and look forward to sneaking my sleeping bag into the trunk of one of your cars next year!
What a thoughtful, familiar reflection on the ties that bind - and the lovely nooks and crannies that make up a family!!
Thank you, and thank you for reading, Michael.
