Noah

While Matthew was spending time in Kimana in southern Kenya, another of our grandsons, Noah, was spending a month several hundred miles away in western Kenya, at a school and clinic in Ngoswani:

  1. And a big thank you to both of your nephews for the work they are doing.

  2. Thank you, Sue, for your kind words. Noah and Matthew are not my nephews, however; they are my grandsons.

  3. Sorry about that. I knew it, and the post said so, and my dsylexic fingers and brain still made the error.

  4. Now you have me wondering which is a closer relative, a nephew or a grandson. A grandson is a direct descendant, of course, and a nephew is not, but a nephew is only one generation removed whilst a grandson is two generations removed. I lie awake at night considering such things. To the common ancestor, your parents, your nephew is their grandson and your grandson is their great-grandson, so I think I may have solved the puzzle as it relates to your parents. But I can't help thinking that one's child's child would qualify as a closer relative than one's sibling's child. We may never know the answer.
