My mother told me stories about our family members that are now ancestors, especially of her younger brother. I don’t remember him, he died when I was two, but apparently I was ‘his baby’ and we had a strong bond. Hearing the stories of how he loved me helped me to feel a connection with him that I never would have remembered. The stories we tell of our loved ones who are no longer with us keep their spirits alive and connected. -JeKaren Olaoya (CLF)
Who do you feel connected to through stories?
