    So true about extended family and reunions. With age comes a realization of their important context.

    Oh, family. I never thought of them as one genetic pool with so many differences. Interesting angle.

    I'm sure many of us can relate to your post--can't choose our gene-pool, but can choose to embrace it, with all its quirks!
    Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

    isn't it true that families have a history of their own? and what a difference it makes when we know the backstory!

    great words
