D is for...Descendant! The definition of Descendant is "a person that descended from a specific ancestor; an offspring". We can all classify ourselves as a Descendant of some ancestor in our family tree. Every descendant should know their family history, and play a role in helping to keep their family thriving.
One of my favorite family quotes is from Roots: The Next Generations (and if you haven't seen it, you need to). Tom Harvey takes his newborn grandchild outside and holds her up to the sky. After that, he proudly says to his wife "This family gonna go forward". I was proud too! :-) This movie tells the story of so many of our families. So to all of the descendants, go forward and keep the family going!
