My third grade teacher was an "old maid," but she was also an excellent teacher. Just before we moved from a relatively small New England town, I learned she had become vice principal of a large elementary school. Well earned. I was so happy for her.
"Family" does not mean just children. It also includes aunts, uncles, grandparents, siblings, first cousins (in no particular order). Few of my parents' many siblings could afford as many children as George and Barbara Bush.
