I recently went home to visit my 95-year-old parents.
They have had a long and rich life. My brothers and their kids and I live all on different continents and have very different lives.
At Christmas what unified us all was looking at family photos together. The images start about a hundred years ago! We laughed and reminisced an entire family of 3 generations together, bonding , reliving amazing moments each remembering different stories from the photos.
Lots of times we forgot whole sections of our lives just to have our memories triggered and experiences flow back to us. Perhaps we cannot even separate our pasts from the photos but that doesn’t bother me.
Everyone loved seeing themselves as babies, as teenagers, as world travellers! Loved looking at how our grandparents looked a hundred years ago.
It was so fun and emotionally rewarding that I have decided to make a book for all the coming generations!
