Who Do You Think You Are?

On August 1st, 2001, at 12:07pm I was born in the old Peel Memorial Hospital in Brampton, Ontario. My parents hadn't chosen my name until I was born, but they knew that my middle name was going to be Hope. They decided on Kaelah Hope Lovegrove, because my dad always loved the name Kayla and my mum wanted to give it a unique spelling just so that I would have something to prove that I was different. Lovegrove is my dad's last name, and I was always told as a child that it means tree hugger, or lover of the forest. When I was 10 though, my parents had told me that it was just a fib they told me. Lovegrove is derived from before the 7th century in Olde England. It translates to "Beloved-Spear" and survived being changed and altered through times of undesired war names. My mum's surname is Piekarz, which translates directly to "Baker" in polish.
One of the stories I was always told as a child about my ancestors was that my third great grandfather tried to join the war at fifteen years old, and he got away with it! The people administrating the war then realized he was only fifteen and sent him home until he was eighteen so that he could legally join the war one day. He waited those three years until he was eighteen and went to the war and unfortunately died a couple months later. I always used to look at his picture in my basement when I was younger. Also when I was small, I got the chicken pox. I think I was about six years old at the time and I remember the lotion that was going to help me get better felt like needles. Being a six year old, I had one of those towels that you wrap around yourself and it has a hood, so that you look like a duck. One night, in the very worst of my pox, my younger sister tried to put on my towel, and she did not know how. As her big sister I thought it was my job to teach her something like that and so I ran to the bathroom and said "Here! Here is how you put it on!". My parents were so mad, because I ruined the towel with my chicken pox and then we had to throw it out.
