FAMILY


FAMILY

On a quiet Christmas day, I thought and searched back.

My grandmother say on her last birthday many years ago: ''Keep the family together''

Years later my beloved mother say similar: ''generations slide on''

Now we have Internet, and we can search for our family.

It is a shame that the whole our family fall in parts.

On this quiet Christmas day , I searched for aunts, uncles, cousins and more .....

And saw many already passed away, and not much more left.

I have only a narrow contact with my only sister, the live also their own lives.

It does not scare me to death, but I'm a little frightened when the time goes so quickly.

I not have more contact with my own 3 children, the hate me about my divorce in the nineties, and my lifestyle.

But the live also like grasshoppers, and have children with different partners, what a shame. 

Their children lose their identity, and search later also about their backgrounds / roots.

Now I think: ''What I'm'' - family, a father, a uncle, a grandfather, a stepfather, a step-grandfather, a stranger, .....

I don't know more what I'm  ?
