My great-great grandmother was born out of wedlock, her father was the then King Leopold II of Belgium — who was known for having many affairs outside of his marriage. but my great-great grandmother was one of them. The culture, the food, the people — and the beer and chocolate was soo yummy! Are wonderful!

We received the information about our family in October, so I took advantage of the holiday sales to buy the gifts and food. The family that we “adopted” was a grandmother (I will call her Tanya, but not her real name) and her 3 grandkids. I helped Tanya unpack our food boxes and reviewed with her what we brought.

My own grandparents (members of the so called ‘silent generation’ who lived through WWI, WWII and the depression) rarely interacted with the grand kids.
