Do you appreciate what your ancestors have done for you?

If so, what have they done? How have you shown appreciation?

6 bans, 2 warnings


I come from a long line of schrubbers and gardeners. I thank them every day with self sufficiency.

They banged enough times to ultimately create me.

That's enough.

Well none of them have ever passed down any money, property or wisdom to me so can’t really say that I have anything to appreciate other than simply being here, but even that isn’t something I’m too fond over from time to time.

Mom's side - ruled multiple territories in Ireland and took Leap Castle by force in the 1500's and ruled it until the English took Ireland... then one of the descendants/my ancestor signed the Declaration of Independence... fast forward to my Grandfather, he was born to a sharecropper in Gilbert, La. Not a good trajectory, tbh...

Dad's side - Boat builders and Cajun musicians from Lafource Parish that relocated to Bayou L'Ourse, outside of Morgan City... Grandfather left the boat building trade but stayed a Cajun fiddle player, and father became machinist

Me - fabricator, then operations manager... no castle though... I also cook a mean etouffee

The barely legal inbreeding more than likely made me stronger and healthier.

My ancestors sinned the biggest sin possible….being white…did I do it right?

Not sure, but I’m definitely begging a certain culture to return to where their ancestors originated

Both my parents were adopted... I have no idea who/what I come from. I'm glad to be here, so there's that.
