Ma Crow

My name is Ma Crow. I live in Covington, Kentucky. I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. My parents are from Tennessee. They came up here with my two older brothers, and I was born. And then I had three other siblings born after us.

I brought a picture of my little boys, Brandon and Nathan. Brandon's in the picture. He's in third grade and Nathan is in kindergarten. They're grown men now with children of their own, but what is most precious to me about family is that Brandon and Nathan are still here on earth with me, and I'm grateful for that every day. Because the generation before me and the generation before that are long gone, and some of their generation are gone now. I just wish that I'd had the insight from when I was younger to talk to my elders about how what life was for them growing up in Tennessee. It would have been memories that would become treasures at that point.
