🤔 I seriously wonder about this notion of "making your ancestors proud".
I'm pretty sure a lot of my ancestors were jerks. Even the heroic ones.
On top of which, plenty would be confused if I even *tried* to explain our problems today, and strategies we're using to surmount them.
Best we can hope for from our ancestors is probably, "Child, I understood maybe every third word you uttered, but I also see you made it to adulthood, so you must be doing something right. Keep doing that, I guess?"

Now that's a generous thought, mims. Thanks for sharing it!
