Over the weekend, my
daughter had been going thru a lot of her old pictures.. many I gave
her.. and many she took as well...
She had been posting them on
Facebook... A lot of them of
her dad and his family.. He passed
away when she was 16
in 1986.
So posting these pictures
has not only given her pleasure but also has given her aunts and
cousins (that she hasn't seen in over 20 years).. pictures of
their love ones.. The grandparents .. of my daughter.. (so mom and
dad, for her aunts) Great pictures of my daughter's Uncle Jim, who passed away.. way too long ago..So this
has been a great day for them to see some pictures they never saw
before...
Also among them, are
pictures of my mother, my grandmother (so her great grandmother) which
is where I got not only my nickname, but also my legal name. Some pictures of my children and grandchildren when they were
kids themselves. as 90% of them are adults with children of
their own. All of this is wonderful.. and kind of sad. Sad as it
is when you are in your 70's and see yourself at 17.. and even
30's... and wonder where that gal went to.. because it sure
isn't the one that shows up in the mirror each morning.
Then there was the
discussion.. over a prom picture.. and to my amazement.. I have had this
memory in my mind for over 50 years, of a very good friend.. my
longest time friend... double dating to the prom. BUT I was WRONG... it
was her sister who I went with.. Where did the memory get twisted? Her sister and I went to school a long time as well. but I
was never as close to her as I was and am.. to my long time gal pal,
Alice.. Kind of shakes up your memory
bank..
wondering how many other
things are twisted over the years.
The good news is.. ALICE
still is my friend.. who I feel honored that she has stuck it out with me
over all these years. Even after we strayed for a few years...
(I was always moving every 4 years) we still picked up right where
we left off. Thanks, Alice for
straighten my memory out.. I can always
count on you.. lol
