Prompt #2 - Family
I had one once. They're all dead now.
Well, I shouldn't say that. I have a niece lurking somewhere...

My father was German, my mother Japanese. I had a younger brother and a younger sister, though I remained the smallest. We lived in Germany, England, and finally America. Ernest never saw New York, he was killed in France. My parents died in London. After they were gone, Elsie moved to the West Coast with her pilot husband. I did not see them again as we'd parted on bad terms.

I have no blood relations left, though I have plenty of adopted family. I am mother, god-mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin, sister, or simply friend to almost everyone who walks through my door. They are not just clients they are...well...family.
