My maiden name is Dinah Lee Espedal. My family comes from a small town in Norway. If you are an Espedal then you are family. Being new to social networking I thought I would see if there were any other Espedal's on FaceBook.
Obviously they all figured it out long before I did. I learned a lot and not all of it I wanted to know. Between the well known Death Metal performer, the drinking pictures, and the teletubby wana be. I am surprised at how much I can see us in them.
Family is family and as I get to know them I see how much we have in common.I may never dress up like a yellow telletubby or sing on stage surrounded by goat heads but some of the conversations when you get down to a level that we can all relate to reminds me of every conversation I have ever had with our family.
The silly pictures, and the artistic notions are all a part of each of us and I am willing to get past the initial impression to find my roots. I have to say even if you are a death metal superstar when you talk about life you are just like the rest of us...in it for the long haul.
