Next time you are feeling "unimportant", try a little math trick based on the undebatable fact that:

It took 2 people, (your mother and father), to get you here.

Each of your parents has two parents, so in the generation just prior to that of your mother and father, there were 4 people, who paired off, shared their love and contributed to your existence.

Beyond that...you are the product of 8 great-grandparents, 16 great-great-grandparents, 32 great-great-great-grandparents,

...and it keeps going!

...Keep on multiplying the number by two. If you figure an average of about 25 years between each generation, you'll discover that ONLY 500 years ago, there were 1,048,576 people on this planet beginning the long lovin' production of...

...you!

You are no accident.

We might not be perfect, ...but we are...   one BIG family!
