Cousins

July 2007

Billy, Alex, and Aaron (top) & Katherine (my daughter) with two of her younger cousins: Chance in the middle and Alex on the right. They may not appreicate it now, but to know your cousins and make memories with them is quite a privilege-one I didn't have growing up. I barely know any of my cousins, let alone did I spend any real amount of time with them growing up. Family is important. A family is a microcosm of the world...it is the place we get to be ourselves and learn how to love others alike and very unlike us all at the same time. We learn to relate, resolve conflicts, and accept others unconditionally.
