I was enthralled with the thought thar you had a great-aunt named “Fabiola.” And then you tell us you called her “Aunt Fabby”! Please do a whole profile on her.
I always love your poetry. Isn’t it one of the ironies of getting older that we want so badly to know about what came before. To be able to ask questions of those that are now no longer with us. And yet those younger than us have not yet come to appreciate all there is to learn from us, now the older generation. I hope they don’t wait too long…
Thank you, Beth. I appreciate the kind words. Yes, I always wanted to know about my heritage and stories of elder relatives. But I didn't write them all down and have apparently misremembered some, and of course I wish I had asked even more. Hope all is well!

Ok! She was amazing. Good idea!

Thank you. Might just be time to "First, slaughter a goat.'
I mean, why not?
