The Root of All Connections

2/12/2015, Day #43 of the year is the birthday of my foster grandmother, Nettie Soskin, aka Babba (sp?  I never really knew how to spell it).  The poem my friend wrote for her mom's funeral has had me thinking a lot this week.  A lot about roots of family trees.  And, Nettie and Sol Soskin were the transplanted root of our family tree for my father and his two siblings.  And the connections that they fostered (pun not intended), grew into amazing people, amazing families, and they are sowing connections this day and age that are amazingly strong and quite important to me.  So today, on her birthday, I give thanks for Nettie Soskin (and her husband. Sol, my Zayda), from whom great connections have been fostered and nurtured (OK, this last time, the pun was intended). <3
