By now you should have a wealth of information about your family tree. If not, contact your uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. Understand your background. Learn the history of your family.
Did you know that your dad was raised in the middle of a tropical jungle and he had climbed Carstensz Pyramid, one of the Seven Summits while he was still a teenager? Did you know that your mom has a theater background, was a singer for a jazz band, and has killed a turkey with a truck? Did you know that your grandma (Oma Peggy) is one out of fourteen siblings? Did you know that your grandpa (Pap Rich) has Popeye forearms the size of one of your dad's thigh? Did you know that your great great grandma came straight from Scotland?
Family history makes up who you are. Nobody's perfect. Like your daddy always said, "Family is like a fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts."
