When the family arrived in New York they were ready to find a home after a dreadful trip on their ship. It was my great-great grandparents‚ Peter and Marie(7 moths pregnant)‚ who traveled with their four children: Anna‚ Martha‚ and Hulda to America. Hulda died when they landed but suffered most of the voyage from measles. The Sundvall Family name is a confusing story. My great-grandfather’s

Up at my grandparents cabin in Mio‚ Michigan‚ it is usually pretty calm and relaxing… Unless me and my brother are riding the ATVs of course. We ride up and down the dirt driveway‚ through the trails leading to the neighbors houses‚ and around our small private pond. I really enjoy going fast on “my” ATV (it is really my grandpa’s‚ but he doesn’t use it and my brother has his own). One day while I was up at my cabin around 2012‚ I was taking a break from riding‚ my brother asked me if I wanted to

A meal not prepared well for example‚ would be going out to eat to a restaurant. One year we went to Mimi’s in Brentwood to have thanksgiving. I kept thinking to myself‚ how I am going to eat the food that I ordered. It would be rude to my Grandparents‚ on my father’s side of the family‚ since they paid for it. That meal was horrible and tasted nothing like the home cooked turkey meal that I was use to having at my grandmother’s house on my mother’s side. One thanksgiving at grandma’s house

Thanksgiving vacation‚ I traveled to Belton with my family. When we arrived I was so happy to see my cousins and they were just as happy to see me. In Belton‚ my grandparents own 26 acres‚ and near the back part there is a huge inviting treehouse. Right below the treehouse is an old broken truck‚ the kind seen in junkyards. My cousins and I cruised on the four wheelers and rode around the entire property over and over again. Hungry for lunch‚ we went inside and devoured Grandma’s tip top

As a child I was fortunate to know all of my grandparents. Of all of them my paternal grandfather was my favorite grandparent. He was a tough little man‚ barely five feet six inches tall. He was never excessively over weight but he had a little round belly. He had a beautiful mischievous smile which I found utterly charming. Welding had faded the color of his eyes to the palest blue I had ever seen. He was hardworking‚ just‚ fun loving and surprisingly reverent. Granddaddy was retired

Both of my countries have a national slavery day that we celebrate with a lot of pride. My parents and grandparents are very humble people; very generous and warm hearted. They raised me with so much love and respect. But the number one thing that I have always remembered is equality. They always told me to treat everyone the same‚ or the way I would like to
