Characters, in order:  
Pokey Oaks’ great-grandmother (last line in this comic is “You’re loved by all you know”) (Granny Smith’s great-great-grandmother, Apple Bloom’s great-great-great-great-grandmother)  
Pokey Oaks’ maternal grandmother (Applejack’s great-great-grandmother)  
Pokey Oaks’ mother (Granny Smith’s grandmother, Applejack’s great-grandmother)  
Pokey Oaks (Granny Smith’s father, Applejack’s grandfather, Apple Bloom’s great-grandfather)  
Granny Smith  
Applejack
 
Looking at the character designs, it should be obvious who each character is, even with no color.

Them feels man…
 

@that guy_45

What’s this water under my eyes?

Why is there a Bagger 288 in the background?

@redweasel  
You’re born with a cutie mark. In order for it to appear, you must discover yourself. Certain scholars believe humans aren’t born with predetermined characteristics, but from what I’ve read so far, I’m not entirely certain that’s true. :j

@redweasel  
No it’s saying your cutie mark wont change who you are no matter what kind of cutie mark you get.

applejack to apple bloom  
??? to applejack  
granny smith to ???  
granny’s father to granny  
granny’s father’s mother to granny’s father  
etc
 
stupid lullaby though… a cutie mark won’t change you no matter how it changes you?

Herk…thud

Aaaaa whyyyyyy
 
It was already stupidly, gutwrenchingly feels-inducing as it was and then you go and make it an ancestral lullaby. ;^;

oh cadance… the feels…

I really like that scene  
and the monocrome style too :D
