These Two Tiny Snapshots from our Family Archive Reveal a Legacy of Love

My grandparents Jim and Tommie Sue were both teenagers when they met on a little dirt road in a small town in the 1950s.

They got married soon after and had four children together in six years.

Jim is in his eighties now, but he still has that twinkle in his eye and a mischievous grin. He has a better memory than I do and I’ve been lucky enough to hear many of his wonderful stories!

Tommie died when my mom was little, so I was never able to meet her. I’ve always wondered what she was like. People have told me I look like her and I like to think they’re right.

Seeing her here, so young and happy, makes me feel connected to a little piece of her. ~shared by @accidentialstars
