I've had a few people tell me that to keep such an album was like 'living in the past'. To me, that's ridiculous. To remember someone with love and funny/sad stories is to honour that person.Prishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970753027686923295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-1144842482158735952006-04-12T07:48:00.000-04:002006-04-12T07:48:00.000-04:00This one evokes alot of emotion.

So many in the world do not have these kinds of memeories, and that's the sad thing.

Over a period of about 20 years, while my parents were still alive, I started an old family scrapbook that was made of of the photos and stories mother told me about the ones she'd known or stories she'd heard from HER older relatives about the earlier ones. I continued to add photos of aunts and uncle/their children, my cousins and stories about them, both from mother from their younger years and my own stories later. The album became two huge ones. About two years ago, I copied as much of it as I wanted to keep and passed it on to a second cousin I'd never met, but knew he and his son both were interested in family history. The stories are in my head, anyway, and I wanted more of the family to enjoy them.Prishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970753027686923295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-1144812472716620172006-04-11T23:27:00.000-04:002006-04-11T23:27:00.000-04:00So very beautiful and sad.
