We all grow up with the weight of history on us. Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies. ~Shirley Abbott
The family is the basic unit of life, so it is necessary for everyone of us to know where did our family originated at and who are our great grandparents and our so called ancestors.
My family all started with the union of my great grandparents. They are: Candida Santiago and Tomas Acosta. They were both born and they both grew in Bucal 2, Maragondon, Cavite. My great grandparents are not rich so they worked hard enough to raise their only daughter, Laureana Acosta, my grandma. Having serenaded by a lot more guys, my grandma still chose to marry and love my grandpa, Pedro Anico forever.My grandma inherited a piece of land here in Bucal 2, Maragondon, Cavite and built a house here which served as the foundation of our family.
This couple, loving each other had 5 daughters and 5 sons as well. Having been gifted with 10 off springs they stayed religious as always. The third to the youngest, my mom got married to this one special guy in her life, my dad. Though my dad used to live in Mindoro, were he was born, fate let them meet each other in Manila where my mom is working. Their love for each other brought us 3 siblings into picture. Faded with age, our family picture is still one of my most important and valuable treasure
