This is a picture of my paternal great-grandfather, Hayward LeGates, taken in December 1963. He is sitting in my grandparents' living room, maybe posing with one of his Christmas presents.
I believe the picture on the table next to him is one of my uncle's school pictures. The picture hanging on the wall is from my grandparents' wedding day. I have a copy of the same picture in my living room.
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
