[00:00.00]Twenty years slipped by

[00:02.50]and John Love died

[00:04.15]at the early age of 47.

[00:06.23]Several years later, son James

[00:09.18]and his family, as well

[00:11.59]as widow Lily, his Mother,

[00:13.56]made the decision to leave Pennsylvania

[00:16.40]and settle in Canada.

[00:18.48]They made the arduous 1 trek 2

[00:20.56]over Indian trails, crossing

[00:23.51]the Niagara River to settle

[00:25.37]in what we now call Ontario.

[00:28.33]I am a Canadian.

[00:31.06]Having traced my roots

[00:33.14]and followed in the footsteps

[00:35.22]of these early settlers,

[00:36.97]I feel a sense of gratitude 3

[00:38.72]to my ancestors who

[00:40.36]faced extreme difficulties

[00:42.00]and severe hardship to

[00:44.19]settle in a new land.

[00:46.60]Liberty, then and in today’s world,

[00:50.21]is a priceless inheritance.

[00:52.51]Once more, I glanced

[00:55.57]at the silver pin before

[00:57.65]returning it to the velvet 4 box.

[01:00.05]Once again, I questioned,

[01:02.35]“What did I inherit

[01:04.43]from my Love ancestors?”

[01:06.95]I realize the answer has been

[01:09.36]revealed while writing this story.

[01:11.87]I have determination, strength, loyalty 5

[01:16.46]and a love of adventure.

[01:18.65] This is my inheritance
