Family is important to me.
Perhaps this is because my family is small and what should remain has become misplaced.
Mother, father are both gone, as are my parents-in-law, which became surrogates but only as much as I would allow and could feel comfortable with.
My mother left when we were both too young and I don’t have enough pictures of her and even fewer with us together.
My father equals something both good and bad. He had a boyishness that was appealing to me in youth, but horrible as I grew older and his boyishness persisted.
