The old photos of Lui and Anne Granados, taken in
the 1920s that hang over my fireplace, remind me

thirty grandchildren, and while I was certain they
knew my name I was also certain that I wasn’t
particularly special to them – no more so than any
my fellow twenty-nine siblings and cousins.
My grandparents weren’t the type to give
frivolous gifts, and I don’t recall hearing them
say, “I love you” to me or anyone else. They came
from a time when such things weren’t said out loud –
but were communicated through action. It was a time
when people listened to what you did more than to
what you said.
