My daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter came for a quick visit this weekend to see my mother who has been ill again. This put the four generations (mother, daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter) in the same room at the same time. Alas, no pictures this time because Mother is not up to a picture taking session. At her age, we take what we can get without embarrassing her.
It was fun to go through some of the family photos with Mother asking her great-granddaughter to identify the people in the old pictures. She did a good job of recognizing us when we were much younger. I discovered a picture of my grandmother when she was 16 years old. Mother said she looked like me at that age. I also found a picture of my father’s father and uncles in an old photo. Daddy had labeled the people in the photo. This will help with my genealogy study.
Soon, very soon, I will have to go through all the old family pictures to identify and label each one before no one is left to know who is who. My husband and I have threatened to do the same with our own extensive photo collection for some time. But we are so good at procrastinating. Shame, shame on us.
