RE: Honey Grove, Texas - Haiku - On the joys of research and new family discoveries

in #poetry7 years ago

So many of us have this story! We think being housed in one and only one home is the norm, but perhaps it's not. I was "lucky" I suppose, although my steady home did not always hold kindness for me.

Sort:  

There is nothing normal about having a normal functional family but it is so sad that even your steady home couldn't afford you enough kindness.

Yes, I was very lucky as well, and even though my family was highly dysfunctional (aren't they all, in some way?), the vast majority of my memories are happy ones. I was very blessed.
