About: Aunts and Uncles – The Other Parents | April 26, 2010
- Typical B’day Party, circa 1954 -Where are the men?
10/28/11: As you can see from my profile, I have just finished writing a book about my aunts and uncles.
Discovering one of my mother’s boxes while clearing out my own closet one day triggers the memory of our turbulent mother/daughter relationship and the sad events leading up to her passing. Curious about its contents, I take the box into the room she used while living with us and remove its cover. Inside I find an envelope containing old family pictures. Determined to find their images, I search for early photos of my “other parents”. Removing them from the envelope and splaying them out on the floor next to me rouses my earliest recollection of each of them and their remarkable lives. I knew then that I had to tell the world about them.
Within weeks I had my outline. One year later in the spring of 2009 I began to formulate the story you now see here. Most of the information contained within these pages is pre-2006. Writing over the span of nearly three years opened up the opportunity to make a short update concerning my Aunt Sadie and also some additional information about Uncle Mike’s family which I thought you may enjoy hearing. Appropriately, these tidbits make up the last page of this book.
