Families As Quilts …

The kids

Grandson Ryan attends an evangelical church because that’s his mom’s faith and in the eyes of Judaism, his father’s religion doesn’t count. Grandson Jareth considers himself a super Jew and has a Star of David tattoo and collection of Israeli hip-hop music to prove it, but his son Westley would have to convert if he decides to practice ‘cause his mom’s Christian and lineage emanates with mothers in our culture. Great-grand Akira is my most exotic offspring: Her dad’s Muslim, her mom’s Jewish and her name is Japanese. Diversity? I don’t have to look outside my family to find it.
