I have been given what seems to be a bonsai tree; this was awaken a fatherly like feeling that is hard to explain.

I have no idea what kind of tree I got, no idea how to find out nor how to take care of it, am eager to learn and would love to see it live and grow untill my grandchildren can take over for me (I need to start by having kinds first, but will come soon enough too).

Advice for this novice is needed, feel free to write.
