Salt Pork and Cinnamon Rolls

To the child in me who struggled for years searching for a better life.
To my Griffith cousins, who made me happy and made my life interesting.
To my siblings, who were scattered in so many places, never really getting to know each other.
To my many nieces and nephews, who I wish I knew better.
To my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who grew up way too fast.
