I am the youngest of 10 (count'm TEN)
children>
My mama had 2 boys and 2 girls
My daddy had 2 boys and 2 girls.
Daddies last was a barely born infant
Who needed a mama.
My parents' marriage was really one of 'convenience"
This was after 25 yrs; their anniversary photo
My brother (half, if you take those things into account)
Was the last of my fathers first 'clutch' and since Ms Nellie
Died within months of his birth, really needed a mama.

He died after less than a year in Vietnam
They wouldn't let us see the body
My Sister Linda, 8 yrs older than I, would scream and holler
if she knew I had immortalized this pic}
My niece Jessica, is a VIP
We have connections, but in the long run, we are only
People
In the last 3 weeks, I've lost 2 first cousins
of the same branch or my family
My first cousins
Tom (Judge) Edenfield, and his sister Margaret
A few days ago

Hi @jerrytsuseer,
I enjoyed reading about your family, and the photos were an enjoyable addition. Thank you for sharing.
I'm the oldest of 6, with 4 older "half" siblings. I guess that's something else we have in common :)
My condolences for your recent losses Jerry.

It was interesting to see some of your family history! I happen to have two older half siblings I've never met or talked to.

I think I'll have to repost my "Mama's Story" several new friends such as
Yourself seem to be interested in that stuff.
My mama wrote out her life story from early adulthood to just after I was
Born, single spaced, all caps on a manual typewriter, 7 pages front and
back. Then stuck it in her bible and forgot about it.
We found it many years later, and she gave me permission to transcribe
And post it.
I did it here in steemit as a serial, fleshed out with old family photos.

Wow! There has got to be a story there somewhere.
Thanks for reading @steammatt, I'm in a hurry
Right now, or I'd share more. Gotta run though
