    smiling, “Marvin loves to fish. You should see all the photos of Marvin and his brothers fishing, especially with Bob. They used to fish together all the time but not so much anymore…”thank you Anita,” Mary said as she handed her mother the two red albums on that subject. Anita and Mary sat on the couch on either side of me showing me Marvin’s fishing photos and then all the rest of the family photo albums, narrating each picture. Marvin sat in his chair against the heating pad. He smiled from time to time when a particular story came up; sipping his coffee and eating his cinnamon roll, content to the ladies do the talking. As for me, I was finding out what caring families are all about, getting lost in all the names, Aunts, Uncles; Cousins, twice or more removed; Grandparents and Great, Grandparents, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren…who was married to whom until dinner was served……… Despite being in pain, Dad managed to struggle out of his chair to take his place at the head of the table; there the conversation turned to Danny.

Mary hugged Danny, touching his face gently, as would a mother with a small boy “We will be your family from now on, Danny,” and from that moment on that is what Mary called him, not Mr. Skinner, not Daniel or Dan but Danny. Almost losing his composure, for the first time in his adult life, Daniel Skinner wanted someone’s approval other than his own. He was doing it for the love of a woman so that they might have the blessings of Anita’s family…he owed Anita that. Inwardly, Marvin sighed as Mary hugged this interloper.
