Dad's half- sister, by father. I never saw my faternal grandmother (nor maternal grandfather, for that matter), she died some time in the forties. What I thought was grandmother was actually grandfather's second wife, which I learned when I was perhaps a teenager.
This aunt of mine took after her mother - the nose shape is not ours, and the mouth shape is her mother's (which for many years I found distasteful, unable to explain why) but she's the same blonde like we mostly are, even more so. Should be some six years older than me (two days short of being exactly that, found out when the restitution papers with everybody's DoB's came). There's even more so of her; as a girl (see april 1959) she was big for her age and kind of relatively fat (actually not, very few people were fat then). When she got married (1969?) she got fat quickly and stayed so ever since. As that husband of hers said „she was fat, I had a fića, hauled her in two rounds“.
Has a strong voice (when she calls, and she does whenever dad doesn't hear the phone for a few days, I don't need to pass on what she said - it's loud and clear), and strong personality, gets her matter pushed through the red tape (be it administration, or court - she used to work as some kind of clerk). Still a great paper pusher - the restitution process would probably take twice as long without her fervor.
Son and daughter are exact opposite by stature - limber, tall, slim. Both blondes, which is the only symptom of us sharing a gradnfather. He turned into a heavy drinker, but she managed to cure him. By that time he was already in his fourties, without any chance of marriage or procreation, „which one would want me like this“. When we last saw him, it was rather obvious that he has a bunch of learned tricks in his behavior, and that he's often checking himself, whether what he said or did was okay.
Daughter, Jelena/Jeca, a fellow mathematician, of strictly educational persuasion. She bought a small apartment somewhere on, guess, Banovo Brdo, what with the loan denominated in swisses, and goes through tezga after tezga ever since, works in two-three schools at a time, to pay that huge debt. The loans were denominated in swiss franks, and about halfway through got much more expensive, because the unpaid remainder is calculated in swiss franks, which were revalued up by some 20%, so everyone who bought the gimmick were seriously fucked up. She even does private lessons... and, in her free time, if any left, she paints. Ikons, just like Jara, could be something in the family. So she also never married, nor plans to.
