Genealogy, it's important.
At age ten, I lost my paternal grandpa; 16: my paternal grandma, 18: my maternal grandma, 21: my maternal grandpa, and 23: my own son. Families are and always will be the most important unit and group here on the face of the earth. When I think of my family, I can't help but love them no matter what they do. My son, parents, and grandparents mean the world to me so why wouldn't their parents and their grandparents matter. Genealogy is a binding of generations. It allows us to catch a glimpse of our relatives through our loved ones eyes, and to see how much they mean to them. I hope to learn more about my parent's grandparents, so that when they meet their great grandson they can be proud that I know who they are too. I hope we all can learn more about those that have done so much for us, before they even knew us.

I liked your point about how one day we'll meet our ancestors and we should prepare for that by getting to know them. On my mission I gained a desire to research my own family history; turns out some aunts went back to the early 1700s. There's a lot of learning to do.
