Yesterday, Grace and I, had dinner with my Zia K. and her husband. The last time we saw them was through a screen door, during the Covid pandemic. It was great to sit down and catch up with both her and her husband. She is my aunt by marriage; meaning that she was married to my mother’s youngest brother. When she and my uncle divorced I explained to her that once you are in the family, you are not allowed to leave it. Being of Italian decent, she understood and has always remained a large part or our family.

I am grateful that she my Aunt never turned her back on this family and I am very grateful that Grace and I were able to spend time with her and her better half? last night.
