Think about that, think about all of them…
How many struggles did they face? How many difficulties?
Did they fight in wars? Fight disease? Experience loss?
Leave their homes and family and seek their fortunes in a new country?
Think about the stories? The sorrows? The sadness? The joys and the hardships?
Think about all they went through, and who they are, to come down to each one of us.
