I think you're right - we will be the ones who will observe what traditions we know, and pass it on, as I'm sure you do. If you look at it that way, culture never fully dies - it just changes and keeps changing. Thank you Gucci Muse.

jl, it’s very weird when you realise it, isn’t it?

Thanks Belongum. I think you’re right - we will be the ones who will observe what traditions we know, and pass it on, as I’m sure you do. If you look at it that way, culture never fully dies - it just changes and keeps changing.

I don't know if this is the same for you exactly - but if it is... I feel for you. I don't know if this thought helps (or if it scare you silly), but new 'carriers' of your culture were 'born' on the day your Mama left you - I'm guessing that may very well be you and your siblings. These things need to live on - as I believe firmly that culture is a living, breathing thing... just passed on. <br/><br/>It's not the same I know... I can't possible carry all my mob's culture around in my head, I've never had the pleasure of being able to receive it all (sadly), but I try to carry the little I know, well at least.<br/><br/>Take care CW<br/><br/>;-) Hey CW… those times now - when you have questions - then turn to ask the person best equipped with the knowledge for answering them, only to find them missing… well - they’re going to be stumbling blocks for sure.

In my family I’m the one who wants those answers… and not so much for the actual answer as such, but for the story itself - as it’s the vehicle used for giving us the answers in the first place.

It’s not the same I know… I can’t possible carry all my mob’s culture around in my head, I’ve never had the pleasure of being able to receive it all (sadly), but I try to carry the little I know, well at least.

Take care CW
