Marion Makes…

A directory of the people in my life who I refer to the most, their nicknames, and what my relationship to them is. Some of these I only refer to by nicknames to respect privacy. My siblings and family don’t really get that privilege, but Nate’s family does, lol. Lmk if there’s a name you see in my posts that needs added here!

• Nate – Husband :)
• Erica – Daughter :D
• Grandma/Shoshana – Mother in law, Erica’s Grandma (Shoshana is her chosen hebrew name)
• Zaide/Zaide Dovid – Father in law, Erica’s Grandpa (Zaide is hebrew for grandpa, Dovid is chosen). Has aggressive brain cancer. Prognosis anywhere from 1mo to 10y til death, but probably sooner rather than later.
• Uncle K – Nate’s Uncle, who is currently living with my in laws to help take care of Zaide. Goes back to Montana for his own cancer (in remission) treatments once every few weeks, so we take his place at Grandma and Grandpa’s house while he’s gone.
• Nersch/Evan – Youngest sibling
• Ahzig/Isaac – Younger brother
• Mike – ex boyfriend, current good family friend, Erica’s “Uncle Mike”
• Dyno/Mike (Other Mike) – Old friend from the internet who I meet up with in person sometimes
• Critter – Nate’s truly cruel sibling who occasionally crawls up outta the woodwork to sow discord and spike my blood pressure 🙃
