When I was a child, I was fortunate enough to have the company of Grandmothers, parents (two - one Father, one Mother) and a cadre of uncles and aunts. They, through their example, instruction, and love, formed my character as much as any school did. It doesn't take a village - it takes a family - I had one then, and have one now - I am truly blest!
Would that the older ones were with us now - I am now the senior member of my family - I can never forget what big shoes I have to fill.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
