Family

Isolation... Gives you extra time to simply think. Wonder and have questions that will never be answered about family. How much to you really know about family.  Most of what you know about you parents is from perhaps your age 10 through adulthood. Your younger years and prior to being born, what you know about their life is a mystery. Grandparents are even more of a mystery filled with unknowns. And beyond that you are lucky to have a name, or some old photos that raise hundreds of questions about their life. From time to time I look at the old photos and wonder what their life was like. It would be nice to have a time machine. Oldest photo is from 1885 notation on back my grandfather. Older woman with boy... great grandmother? Family photo collage and photos of my mom. One photo from 1922... looks like my grandparents should have been in the Bonnie/ Clyde gang.
