Gash Alemu & Gash Lakew
Gash Alemu is Tiye Sewit's husband. And Gash Lakew is my father's brother, or Mary's father. This is also at Mary's house. |
Grandmothers On the left is my father's mother, and on the right is my mother's mom. This picture was taken at my uncle, Lakew's house next door to our house. My cousins Yohannes & Mimi(Mary's brother & sister) also arranged a welcome home party there for me. |
Cousin Selamawit Selamawit is Lakew's youngest child. She is 16 younger than me. Our parents named us similarly: the "mawit" endings. This picture was taken on the balcony at Lakew's house the night of the welcoming party. |
Uncle Tibebe(Mamush) Mamush is my mom's cousin. If you haven't noticed yet from both Micky and Mamoush, my mom's cousins are very young. This picture was also taken at Uncle Lakew's house that night. |
