cellboy1. I am boxing and organizing my mom's photos, our family history.
2. Some photos from the 1900's some I just don't know who they are. But most I do. My great grandparents, grandparents in Sherbrooke, Quebec City, Edmonton, Montreal.
3. Now I know why I have been avoiding all of this.
4. My sister packed in a bag my mom's Pink Lady uniform, when she lovingly volunteered for years at Stanford Hospital. I pulled it out of a bag, and with it a golf sweater that she wore for often.
5. I started balling my eyes out.
6. As for the photos. There are hundreds. Most in albums, but also lots just piled in bags.
7. Teary eyed I scanned through. Boxed most for storage. To go through and sort for another time
8. My sister, who is not a sentimentalist, or really does not care I guess about family history. Her kids don't either. She made a comment when we were emptying my mom,s home and apt last year. Sad that we all take photos, to later when we die, will anyone care? Or keep? As time and generations go. We will never be remembered??
9. My nephews don't care. I unfortunately have no kids to care either.
10. So those things I cherish will probably just go to the dumps when I die. Sad. My history, my family history and their memories, to the trash heap, or to be found in some antique shop, with other obscure pile of books and photo albums of unknown people
11. I think I will stop now and do something more joyful. Off to SF Eagle and Furry Sunday at 440.
