A Message from Hopeton ​“Tony” Thomas

Thomas Family & Friends Reunion Message

Have you ever wondered why programs and services such as “Finding your roots”, “Explore Your Family History” Genealogy ​TV”, “Ancestry” and others are so popular?

There’s a widespread native longing in the human soul to have a better sense of who we are,

our general identity, who or where we came from. Why do I think and behave the way I do? Who are the people who made me, ​me? Yes, a bunch of questions.

Who are these people who got our parents, grandparents and others on the right path,

trajectory you are on today – the level of success you presently enjoy?

Why did they migrate? What motivated them? What were the ancestral family members like?

Do you or I speak the way they did? What level of education did they have? Were they interested in self/Family development? ​Were they musically inclined? Music talent is widespread in the Thomas Family. Where did it come from? Did you know that a ​family member was honored with a coveted MBE by Queen Elizabeth II for musical services?

You’ll discover answers to most, if not all, and more of these questions AT THE UPCOMING

FAMILY AND FRIENDS REUNION, being painstakingly planned, with tremendous dedication and

perseverance by Carmen Hope Thomas, and some helpers, for the entire family over at least five countries. It will focus on and ​honor our fore parents, male and female.

I am very confident the reunion will be an eye-opening experience with positive effects for all

generations, giving a sense of rootedness, connectedness, and belonging, and enhancing self-worth, emotional health, and ​happiness. Knowledge of our past helps us treasure people, our present and our future.

We’ll discover what obstacles they faced – racism, privations, insults, challenges and sacrifices

made – inspiring compassion for their mistakes and flaws, but greater love and appreciation for their noble efforts. Such ​knowledge and understanding can allow us to be our better selves, parents, spouses, siblings, employees, et. al. – in short, ​better well-rounded humans!

I lived with grandma Louise Thomas and have socialized with all my dad’s siblings except Aunt

Mae Hines. I know songs they sang and loved, what drove most to be their best selves here on Earth while preparing for ​heaven. Discovering aspects of who they were, what motivated them, etc. gives greater meaning, identity, stability, purpose, ​direction, and drive to your lives and those of your children down the line.

Our behaviors and thoughts are much more influenced by our family than we are often aware of or imagine. I’ve had a decades ​long passion to get family members together, to know one another and to appreciate our past, present and possible future and ​to reap the myriad benefits of belonging. I could write a lengthy dissertation on the benefits of family and true friends, but ​regard for your time forbids me to do this now.

I close with a testimony about family interaction, and that knowledge, understanding and

appreciation of our fore parents and their lives have seeded me with a warmth that has enriched my spirit, soul and ​sensibilities and will forever nourish me and I believe, my descendants and audience. Our patriarchs have passed on, but deep ​relationships and memories are alive. They linger on and deserve to be cultivated and nurtured. You owe it to yourself and ​others to do whatever you can to be the best you that you can be and help others to achieve the same. Your very presence will ​be an uplift to others –“Iron sharpens iron.”

Make definite your plans now to be there.

To be present in the upcoming year.

Ciao for now.
