And, through my years of growing up, I’d felt that gnawing sensation about it, in the back of my mind, but I just, couldn’t quite, pinpoint the cause, until now, that is.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">So, I’d researched into my own family history, because I wanted to know where I had come from, what I didn’t expect, was the unraveling of my life because of this digging into my family’s past.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">My scorched family tree, and no, the fires had been set, from WAY, WAY, W-A-Y before I was even CONCEIVED, and so, you’d think, that I would have ZERO responsibilities for patching it all up, because I was NEVER the one, who BROKE it in the first place!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And now, my family tree, it sat, in my BIG, BACKYARD, with the bark, smoked, because of that fire that happened, way, way, WAY before I was EVER even conceived, and yeah, I should consider removing THAT eyesore too!</p>
