I know I have featured this photograph before, but it is one of my favorites, and I think it was taken by me. It features - from left to right - my Grandmother Spillard (my mother's mother), my mother Mary, my father Nelson, and my Uncle Jack and Uncle Bill (my mother's two brothers). Sadly, all of them are gone now. The photograph was taken on a Sunday afternoon in the backyard of my Uncle Jack's house in Evergreen Park, Illinois, while my uncle barbecued in the garage and we all sat on chairs on the driveway. I'm not sure why he did either of those things, but who cares - those were happy times. We were family, and we were all together. And what could be better than that?
