Long-Lost Cousins

I’m in Boston, Massachuetts, connecting in person at last with my cousin R. He is my first cousin on my father’s side — our fathers were brothers, born in 1906 and 1910.

R and I discovered each other via Ancestry’s DNA analysis earlier this year. It’s amazing how easy it is to be together, and we’re enjoying sharing memories from our earlier years, catching each other up on the 70-some years before we met in person.

R and his wife S, who took this photo, have a home filled with books, music, and art — all things I love, too.
