Reflection πŸŒβ›…β›ˆοΈπŸŒΎπŸ˜

My Four Fathers

Trying to reduce four great influences from my childhood to a reasonable number, while making an amusing pun.

While doing so why not do some Javascript at the same time? In Javascript you can declare an array variable as follows:

let forefathers = [Father, Uncle, Grandfather, Father-in-law];

My Father was a Pediatrician who specialized professionally in Britain and returned to Southern Africa to practice in the second largest town of the country that we know today as Zimbabwe.

While describing this situation why not add some Astrological Sun Signs as best reported subsequently? These apparently can exist in Unicode Emoji form. According to this article

https://blog.emojipedia.org/a-constellation-of-astrology-emojis/

the symbols can be represented as:

Figure Sign Symbolizes
Father ♏ πŸ¦‚
Uncle β™Š πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘
Grandfather ♉ πŸ‚
Father-in-law β™ˆ 🐏

My Four Mothers

My Artist Mother brought me up in the African town of Bulawayo where she herself had grown up. The Natural History of Africa greatly influenced her art.

let foremothers = [Mother, Aunt, Grandmother, Mother-in-law];
Figure Sign Symbolizes
Mother ♏ πŸ¦‚
Aunt ♏ πŸ¦‚
Grandmother β™Ž βš–οΈ
Mother-in-law β™ˆ 🐏

Represented as above, it should be evident that my parents and parents-in-law have the same signs, and the two tables are almost copies of one another.

Returning to Javascript, the following variables can be related as follows:

Father == forefathers[0];
Uncle == forefathers[1];
Grandfather == forefathers[2];
Father-in-law == forefathers[3];

Mother == foremothers[0];
Aunt == foremothers[1];
Grandmother == foremothers[2];
Mother-in-law == foremothers[3];
