Your series moved me to hell and back. You caught the universal feeling of love as well as irritation we all share with our family members.

This picture made me miss my Mother, even though she only lives 2 hours away. Indeed, we take for granted those wonderful annoying family members that are a part of us. My Father died this year, yet somehow I feel he is still present, like the shadow of the figure on the fence. Glen is a thought-provoking artist. Chuck R. Family.

On reading the captions, another layer comes into play that makes the story even more poignant- a kind of universal childhood memory - love, death, tragedy, all played in the small details that anchor themselves in our soul, and then the replay of it all in the new generation, linking the past to the future in the same location. There is a feeling that it will all be replayed again and again through the generations, a feeling both comforting and disquieting. Beautiful work.
