“Be the things you loved most about the people who are gone.” ~ Unknown
Not quite all the Terry first cousins, but it’s about as close as we’ll ever get since our grandparents died in 2009. Michael Terry is the oldest, and he’s the son of the oldest son, Randolph. Steven Terry is the youngest way on the other end. He’s the son of the youngest son, James. There were only a few weeks or months (I can’t remember which) between Michael’s and James’ birthdays. Our grandmother was hearty, to say the least, essentially spanning a generation between her firstborn and her last. The rest of us do our best to remember where we fall in line by age. It gets pretty murky in the middle, even for the ones in the middle. I feel so fortunate to be in this family.
