A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
A few weeks ago, when I was sitting at my Aunt’s side making her laugh, I asked her if she had any pictures of her family when she and her siblings were children. She told me that my Pappou (Grandfather) had taken many photos and the pictures were in a box under her bed.
There are so many wonderful photos in my Auntie Berta’s house. For the last few days, my Mom and I have been going through photo albums and boxes of old photos and finding treasures. It’s lovely to hear my Mom say, “Oh my goodness, that’s my Father and his siblings.” Or, “That was my boyfriend.” “That is your Great Aunt.” “That is my cousin and you will meet his children next week.”
In addition to my relatives, I also came across pictures of my Mom when she was a young woman. Before and after her nose surgery. She was playing field hockey, got hit in the nose and it left her with a crooked nose. When she started modeling she decided to get it fixed. She looked more Greek before the nose job, but she looked breathtaking after it.
I also came across pictures of me as a child. I was adorable. Well…I’m still adorable but in a different way. ;) I’m bringing home pictures of my brother and sister for their children to see. My brother was so darn cute. I found a picture of my sister and I that made me get all teary-eyed. I’ll post it on my blog once I get a chance to scan it. I need to have it enlarged to poster size. It makes me smile.
