What a beautiful piece. ‘My family dynamics are a patchwork quilt resulting from individual decisions made by others before I was born.’ This is exquisite and powerful. I relate so much to chosen family and carrying midwestern ways with us no matter the geography. Such joy in the reinvention of family celebrations ✨
Loved reading about family. Having met your Aunt Avis, Uncle Wayne and of course knowing well Uncle Forrestt. I will never forget how much they touched my life. Good thoughts for all.
Mark, thank you for reading and commenting. Consider us your “bonus family” we were just chatting about you when we were together. My Aunt hopes to come up to visit you.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Heather. As we evolve, our style of celebrating evolves.
