Among Cousins
Every summer, as a child,
my family would vacation
in Delaware.
But one summer, we went to
Michigan
to visit with aunts, uncles
and cousins.
They would often visit us
when they came
to Grandma’s in Pennsylvania.
This was the first and
only time we went to them.
We played with our cousins
on their turf.
We’d go out on their
pontoon boat,
jump into the lake and swim
for hours.
We walked around their neighborhood
and met their friends, and
realized,
growing up in Michigan was
different,
and we were growing apart.
