 In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage   to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness."  In every conceivable manner, family is the link to our past, bridge to our future Do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from  your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and your children's children If you don't recount your family history, it will be lost.  Honor your own stories and tell them too. The tales may not seem very important, but they are what binds families and makes each of us who we are.
