Hopes for Family Legacies
The Palindromic 43rd day of 2021 had me thinking a lot about family. First, 2/12/2021 would have been the 105th birthday of one of my paternal grandmothers, Nettie Soskin. Aunt Nettie, as we called her, or Bubbe, was a wonderful cook, had an amazing wit, and was tough, fair, and filled with love and care for her grandchildren. I am blessed to have had so many grandparents in my life. They set the tone for my parents, who set the tone for my sister and me. And I, with my family history and Sarah with hers, have set the tone for our children. And, tonight, while looking for pictures of Skylar as a puppy, we stumbled on old pictures and videos from years ago. My hopes are for Family Legacies. I hope and pray that the tone we have set for Alexa and Anna grows into their own family legacies that have their own traditions and practices, but, as with Bubbe, are filled with love and care.
