I don't think it's easy for anybody

but it's probably got more to do with who we are,

and most of how we understand the world,

than anything else in our lives.

Our family, for all the joy and sorrow that life brings to us,

is that precious nucleus of people we love and need and count on,

from the beginning of our lives to the end.

 

Some members of our family are among the blessings bestowed upon us at birth:

ancestors, parents, relatives and siblings.

Some become family through marriage.

And some become family by virtue of love and commitment so profound

that their lives are inextricably connected to ours,

regardless of blood or contract, for all time.

 

These are only some of the people in my family.

I love them all.

I will be adding many more photographs, both historical and contemporary,

whenever time permits.
