In my family

My sibling, named exactly after our father, thinks we should have named our children with family names. We didn't.

In my family
Everyone is named
After everyone
Else.
At least some
Moved away
From Minnesota
So we could say
That part
Of the family
Lives in New Mexico.
Or Florida.
Or even
Illinois.
When everyone
Is named after
Everyone else
Geographic dissemination
Allows a person
To find his or her
Own identity.
Then
We can piece it all
Back together
At reunions.
If we have
Reunions.
