THIS IS MY LIFE

by John Smith

I have decided to write my life story because I wanted to share what I have learned in life with the most five important people in my life: my grandchildren. I also wanted to provide them with a short history on our family, who we are, and where we came from.

This is my story. It isn't perfect, but that's okay. I hope it helps our wonderful grandchildren to feel good about themselves, learn to live life in wonderful ways, and know just a little bit about the people - their flesh and blood family - that came before them.

Cheers!

Our Family History

I know that my father's family name is Johnstone and that his family came over from England. I think he said that they originally came over from the Northern area. My mother's family name is McDermott and I know that her family came from a large and well-known clan of McDermott's living in the central Scotland area. The McDermott name itself is derived from on old phrase my grandmother used to always say - - - (example answer)
