Height skips a generation on my dad's side. My dad, aunts and uncles are all easily over 6ft. My cousin's and I all pretty much see each other eye-to-eye at about 5'7. Then one day, I asked my granddad, who I see eye-to-eye, what was great-grandfather like? He said, "OH, he was a great big ole man!" And then I asked, what was his dad (my great-great-grandfather) like? And he said, "OH, he was a lil ole puny thang." And that's when I put it together

I'm right at 6 feet. I think the OG is 5'10".

I think 3 of my 4 sons will be taller than me. My youngest is on the short side, but I could see him getting a pretty good growth spurt at 12-14 yrs old

This is seriously sad for me to think about cause I hadn't seen him face to face since I was like 9.

He passed when I was 15.

I'm 6ft. I believe he was like 5'9".

I don't even wanna ask mom d right now.. but I might ask her.

My son is already taller than me and built more than me and I have pretty solid frame shoulder neck girth etc on some John Henry shyt
Ideally that’s the trajectory you want for your bloodline.
