We tell the events in our life the way we saw and felt about them. We can tell our side of life experiences as we saw them. Family history makes us real to future generations. We give them a feeling of family and inclusion in the history of our family’s past. Family traditions can live on, such as traditional celebrations, holidays, and anniversaries, and unique events like camping, vacations, or celebrations of a family historical event. | We tell the events in our life the way we saw and felt about them.
