[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 674865, member: 11791"] Oh, SuZir. It's almost like me and hubby. Only it's me that has the huge family and he has very little... a bit more than you, two branches that still carry the family name, but I doubt there's 100 left in the world(across two continents). The biggest part of my side of the family ties to a branch where the name has gone into oblivion. But wherever I go, people who know "us" say... "oh, you're part of the NNN Clan?" My kids have no idea who all these relatives are... I hardly know them. But we run into people and we can trace back the connection really fast. You are NOT the only one left. Your sons carry on those family genes, and should be lighting their OWN candles for these relatives of THEIRS. They - and their children - will continue to carry the family heritage. For a minimum, you should be lighting three candles - for you and each son - instead of just one. Hopefully by the time you are gone, they will have their own kids to add to this. Just my opinion here but... some of [I]your family traditions[/I] should be incorporated... so your kids can hand them down. [/QUOTE]
