I nearly cried while making this page, no lie I was wondering how it would feel if I didnt feel disconnected from it

there came a point where she professed a preference 

not to speak the language of her youth, but held it at arm’s length

a primitive specimen, the mother tongue

that holds the world 

(not my poem, but idk where its from)

Frank was short for Franciszek and apparently he had passed away by 1935. Joseph was my grandpa’s oldest brother. Great-grandpa Casimer was still making Studebakers in 1952, the year my mom was born, but the phone book lists him as “drainer” rather than “molder.” 

Clem was my grandpa’s other brother. They also have a little sister, Regina, who is still with us.
