I want to recapture the way that food once connected me to my Bahamian grandmother and great-aunts. |
|
When my Irish great-aunts went to work for rich American families, they wore black maids' uniforms. |
|
Technically, they are great-aunts and great-uncles, but when talking about them or addressing them directly, I call them aunt or uncle. |
|
Both were retired dons, musicians, and friends of great-aunts of hers in Boston. |
|
Many of these aunts, uncles, great-aunts and great-uncles live nearby and help out. |
|
At her house, Mrs. Otter shows Mr. Edom an eight-fold scrap screen made by her great-aunts. |
|
One of my great-aunts asks me for a favour and I was delighted to do it for her especially because she gave me some change to buy myself some candies. |
|
One hundred years ago, they and my great-aunts belonged to the same world. |
|
Like many in this House, I had great-aunts and great-uncles in Boston, which was typical of the Irish immigration that settled in both Nova Scotia and the New England states. |
|
From spouses, children and parents, to step-brothers, great-aunts, and best friends, a different group of loved ones play key roles in every military member's life. |
|
And when you think back to your aunts and your great-aunts and the story of your family, can you remember stories of men who had intellectual disability? |
