A Sicilian Story told in an Old Photo

Posted by | · · · · · · · · · · · | Featured Family Stories | No Comments on A Sicilian Story told in an Old Photo

This is my Dad and his siblings with Santa, in the late 1950s. He’s the boy on the left and was the second of eventually ten total kids.

My Dad was the child of a first generation Sicilian immigrant and an English heritage Southerner from GA. This was taken somewhere in the Philadelphia region. From left Robert (Bobby my dad), Anna, Baby Mary, William, & Katherine (Kathy). Later five more were added to the brood. ~ shared by @lucindalunacy

How I Like to Remember My Mom and Dad

Posted by | · · · · · · · · · · · · · | Featured Family Stories | No Comments on How I Like to Remember My Mom and Dad

My Mom and my Dad, Christmas 1975. They look truly happy together and that makes me really happy.
They divorced when I was 5, so I don’t really remember them being together and in love, so this is how I like to remember them. ~shared by @nottaylorsmith #savefamilyphotos #wewerehere #oldfamilyphotos #familyphotos #familyphoto #analog #foundphotos #pictapgo_app #parents #parent #vintagephotos #family #families #filmisnotdead

What will you find in those old boxes in your family’s attic?

Posted by | · · · · · · · · · | Featured Family Stories | No Comments on What will you find in those old boxes in your family’s attic?

I found a treasure in a very old box. April 1966. In the San Diego Evening Tribune. I was 9 (bending down feeding pigeons). My 2 year old brother, Brian Christensen, my Mom, and my friend were at Balboa Park having a picnic. My Dad worked just a couple of blocks away. I’m SO glad the photographer captured this moment in my life!

Finding family photos is like a treasure hunt. What will you find in those old boxes? ~ shared by @shellnort

A Heart Full of Family Photos

Posted by | · · · · · · · · · | Featured Family Stories | No Comments on A Heart Full of Family Photos

Mom and Dad in Venezuela.
This is the most beautiful photo I have of them. It means a lot to me since it reminds me that no matter how many things you have to go through, you have to fight with all your heart to keep love alive and your family strong.
They’re still together after 42 years. My Mom got married when she was only 18, to follow my Dad, who was training with the US Army in Virginia. They still live in Venezuela today.
Miss them. ~ shared by @marianbphoto

Found Family Photo Album

Dad.
Now, if only I could have half the heart he has, I’d be ok.

This photo was shot about 25 years ago. I found it in an old family photo album on a trip to visit my parents. Until I was an adult, I didn’t really appreciate all that my father has been through. He had a rough upbringing and did his best to ensure it was different for us. It was…and for that, I am deeply grateful. ~ shared by @matthewdejesus
