Family, Carolyn Darjany

2017 Symposium

In 1993 I married my high school sweetheart and we began adding to our family with our first child a couple of years later. Over the last 22 years, our 4 children are amazingly different from one another and from ourselves. Yet, with all those differences, similarities abound. We share mannerisms, memories, experiences, habits, personalities, and physical traits. This short series explores family. Our ‘sameness’ makes us comfortable with one another while our diversity of personalities refreshes our senses and offers surprise – and sometimes, conflict. We are a fabric tightly woven together whether we like it or not.
