We all have two parents,
whoever they were,
however they got here,
but here is where we all are right now. We even have a hadron collector to chase now
Now. We have come that far.
We will keep going. All of us.

off in old Britain. They left their families in the US midwest (Kansas and Oklahoma), and before that, their ancestors came from many other places.

TDHawkes, Old Picture Archives. Maternal mother’s line back through time (grandmother of the author is the toddler at right). The matriarch (my maternal grandmother’s mother) with her husband standing behind her. All are dead now.
I think about my parents as kids and am glad I lived here on Earth among those who were my family, friends, and colleagues.
