Dec 2020
we never knew all five feet tall of you
the stories older cousins shared made you come alive once
more
until recently we didn't know of them
we are cousins of cousins
you were the little old lady in black in a photo album
albeit my parent's wedding album
then you emerged in photos shared that we had never seen before
someday the entire story will be told
For now we have second and third cousins because you had nine children
One of which was my grandmother
My father never spoke of you but the others are letting me know you through their memories
