Family History

I don't really know of any one famous in my family, but I do know of a few people my family talks about all the time. One of the people my family talks about all the time is my grandpa Ward. Every time my dad wants to get a point across or talks about his past history, he always brings up grandpa Ward, his father. Dad always says grandpa was a fine man and would do anything for anyone, no matter who it was. According to dad, grandpa was a great fisherman, but would always give his fish away, worked in a factory, which is probably where he got the cancer he had, and always helped people even though he didn't have to and even though he didn't have much to give. Grandpa Ward is always brought up in any kind of conversation I have with my dad. Whether it's about life in general or doing what's right, grandpa is always tied in with what's going on in my life. 

I find this to be very interesting because dad doesn't bring anyone up as much as grandpa, which shows me grandpa was a huge part of my dad's life and probably the reason my dad is where he is today. By dad talking about grandpa Ward all the time, he shows that what he says about grandpa is true because if it wasn't true, he wouldn't talk about it all the time. It also tells me about how much my family and my dad value family and how important it is to always be there for your family no matter what, even through the good times and the bad times. Through this one influential person in my life and my family's life, you can get a lot of information about my family's background, values, and hobbies.
