I am from Acadia and founding fathers. I am from the exiled - refugees with strength, determination and love. I am from the magnolias and armadillos. I am from Catholicism, Mom's hand sewn clothes, and my fathers hard work and love and names ending in eaux. I am from the warmth, joy and humor of large families. I am from Spanish moss, Evangeline Oaks and the Bayou Teche. I am from Texas and Louisiana, gumbo and pecans. I am from refineries and farms, from coffee milk and coush coush, from accordians and playing cards at the camp and fishing all day long. I am from you.
