For our exploration of The Notion of Family, several Politics for the People members have chosen a photo from the book to respond to with thoughts, words, a photo or a poem. Today our next installment is from Kathleen Delaney.

~Kathleen Delaney is an emergency department physician and educator in Texas and New York City.
