your union
brought to life fourteen children
branching many more
This is in gracious response to One Deep Breath. This week's topic is "Grandparents". I feel lucky to have these two wonderful people as my grandparents. May my Grandmother rest in peace. My mother is the eldest of 14, and as you can imagine, I have a large extended family. When we had a family gathering, it was a happening. I loved the excitement and love that was always available at my grandparent's home. Cherished memories....

amazing. and i love the photo.
You are very fortunate in the family branching out from them, as you wrote. Beautiful.
May the branches keep branching... :-)
Lovely photo and haiku and story of your family. It's wonderful that you have such a large family -- what a blessing!

Very moving haiku, lovely illustration!
The photo is a treasure - your family is as well. My family was small and I've thought it must be wonderful have large gatherings -
Yes, what a treasure that photo is. I have several like them of my father's family from that same time period.
That's a sweet picture, Zap, and story.
Love in motion,

Grandparents are the greatest, aren't they?

How wonderful that you knew both. And that you have such an extended family. What a gift.
