Admirers

Faces light up when they absorb admiration.


Birštonas, Lithuania, 1933. The family walks across a bridge in the spa town. My Mom's maternal Aunt, Dora, stands to the far left, with two admirers behind her. My Mom, with bowed braids, balances a walking stick. My maternal Grandmother, Jadzė, is next to Mom, and my maternal Grandfather Jake, smokes on the right.

I have Dora's cheek dimple.
