Most Holy Redeemer Cemetery on Richmond Street served to bury the dead, and when I was walking along the markers this past summer, I was amazed to see the amount of Polish surnames.
My mom remembered the streets being long and wide, and she was shocked at how narrow they felt. Moving to suburbia will do that to you, I guess. The houses where my great grandparents and their siblings lived are still standing today. Even with the new aluminum siding and painted shutters, you can still see the homes where they built their lives and the backyards where my mother played as a child.
It was a life that they led before I came into the world, and one that feels both familiar and alien to me.
