Pieces of the Past
My father died when I was 17. My mother died when I was 43. My grandparents are dead as well. Now my family consists of a sister, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and most important my partner and .....my cousins.
I was fortunate enough to have a mother who was extremely close and involved with her two sisters. Through their relationship I formed strong bonds with my cousins that still exist today.
Due to the absense of my parents and grandparents pieces of my past have been wiped out. Because of my cousins alot remains intact.
As for the last 15 years, today , tomorrow and tomorrows to come , my partner is in charge of the pieces. She shares the good times, the bad, the exciting stuff and the mundane. I am where I should be and sharing my life with my true love.
It is no wonder I have more good days than bad.
