I am from “Christmas Greed”, friendly competition and generous spirits. From Marilyn, Christine and Melvin. William and Candace. Adams and Williams.

I am from the family who never says no and always put others before themselves and always finds something to celebrate or laugh about.

From “always say your prayers” and “Don’t go to bed upset.”

I am from plaid uniforms and mass twice a week. Holy Days spent at church. Ash Wednesday ashes worn in my public school classes.

I'm from Flint. Germany, Wales, Ireland, and Native American tribes. Big Johns Red Sauce and backyard barbecues.

From Grandma and Grandpa’s war letters giving us high expectations and standards, the hardships of having 9 kids and no money, and a hardworking, blue collar man’s achievement of the American Dream.

I am from Grandma’s photo albums with scribbled dates and misspelled names, mantels full of love and memories, pouring over black and white photos and telling stories over home cooked meals.
