Mr. Frank said this entry was a must read. He is one big cog I hope for both you and me. What a fascinating family history you have. I can't imagine moving to so many different places. Being up rooted so many times. Living away from your parents at such a formative part of your lives. Those of us who grew up in North America had such an easy time. The most pressing event in my teens was who I was spending the weekend with. Mind you, as you know my parents didn't exactly have it easy so we could. You have such insite into so much from all these experiences. This is something that everyone I know should read.

Your the best dear one.

it is like an unseen watch works, n'est pas. cogs engaging and disengaging all the time. some spinning so fast that they miss connecting with other cogs. some too slowly.

but it seems that the cog of you, although not big or small, fast or slow, sinks up so well when engaged with other cogs. why is that?

Teeny cogs at the end of a long axle spinning like crazy and so happy to be connected to you and to your sisters. The "condolences to the bride" message of 33 years ago, makes sense now …some transference going on there methinks, especially in light of Mehran's matchmaking efforts!

Still love the blog… but love you more

Stay well and happy why not?!!

What a treat to read your family history. After all these years, so much I didn't know. I love the analogy to cogs, such a perfect image and so well described. I am glad to be a cog in your life. Yours is very important in mine.

Just as the cogs of those around you shift, grow, shrink, shine and become dull, so too does the nature and shape of your cog change. You have a different brilliance now. A different sheen. It might not turn with the whir of a vacuum cleaner or the clinks of glasses in the sink, but it turns still, makes noises and changes and reflects light in ways you may never have imagined before.

How amazing.

I love now knowing all this about your life, how you see the many events, facts, stories, arranged this way, tonight. so many pictures and feelings evoked. thank you! and I wait, digits crossed, metaphysical prayer flags waving, for the test results next week…
