Dear Primos and Friends . . .

Wishing you all hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Somos Primos is going to make a slight shift of focus, away from current social confusion, to remembering the past. With so many elderly whose stories have not been told, let me encourage each of you to gather, record, and share the histories of the senior generations of your family.

Even if your ancestors lived quiet lives and assumed no leadership roles in the community, they cared for and affected you and should be honored for their role in your life. What were their strengths, their weaknesses. What did you learn and pass on to your children, or did you?
Maybe you have not analyzed your life yet . . maybe it is time.
Here are two story starters:
1) A healing that I remember at the hands of my grandmother was . . .
2) During Easter Sunday we always used to . . . .
Please share . . . . warm regards, Mimi
