Advice for Remy, Day 61. Take time to learn about your family and where you came from. Iāve always been obsessed with family history, keen to investigate my family tree and find out more about the individual little parts that came together to make up me. As a result, your Rook family lineage can be traced back to the 1600s through many, many generations. However thatās just one line of what ultimately made you. Youāre also constructed of Whitmores, Temporals, Phillipsā, Bennetts, Bakers (and undoubtedly a list of others long enough to fill a phonebook). They all contributed part of what makes you you, and are all equally as important as the line whose surname you happen to share. Today we went to visit the cemetery where your great grandpa and great granny have their memorials, to introduce you to the people who gave you two-eighths of of your DNA. Your mum and granny will no doubt tell you all about them over the next few years, and weāll make sure you know all about the other six-eighths as well, along with a whole very important quarter who you unfortunately wonāt have the chance to get to know yourself. Itās so important to understand where you came from and the people who made you - what they were like, what made them tick, what they did in their lives, and the impact they had on people. After all, without the people mentioned on those plaques, you wouldnāt be here at all. So weāve all got a great deal to be thankful to them for.
