A Precious Picture

Any picture of my baby Kyleigh is precious, but I snapped this photo and it almost made me cry.  The way my mom was holding her and the way she was smiling reminded me so much of a baby picture of myself.  My grandpa was holding me in that picture.

I can't put my thoughts together just yet to write stories about my grandpa.  My dull words can never describe him well enough.  He was the best person in the world.  Even though he has passed for years, I still miss him very much.  I was raised by him and I never left his side until I came to the United States to pursue my own future.  I really wish I could have spent more time with him.

I just can't stop missing him.

Awww Selene. You were a beatiful baby as well. I'm like that with my grandpal too. Of course he's still alive. I'm more concerned about missing out on times with my dad when he's gone. We aren't as close as we were..at least not since he married my stepmom.

Sweet of you to share those pics and memories with us, Selene. I love to be able to look back on pictures of previous generations. I have a picture of 5 generations (Mother, son, granddaughter, great-granddaughter, g-g-granddaughter) just a few months before my Nanny (great-grandmother) passed away. She had just turned 90.
Treasure them all!

OK Selene...Now this one really struck home with me, and I can actually identify with you on this one since all of my Grandparents have now passed.

You really have a gift for showing the importance of family. I like that.

Selene, what a beautiful family you have.
Sandra L. Apr 14, 2007, 8:33pm EDT

Very touching. Cute pics.

I'm so glad you have this precious picture. My grandparents all passed away before I was married and I regret that they never met my husband or met any of my children. I was close to all of my grandparents and have many precious memories of all of them. My Dad's mother passed away when I was eleven yet I have very precious memories of her--mostly in her kitchen and her garden; my last Grandparent died just three years before I was married and she was very special too me, too. In fact, I now live in the house where she spent her last years. I know your Mom and Kyleigh are building very special memories and the pictures will be very precious to her in years to come.

Selene, your grandfather lives on in you -- and in your daughter. This is delightful.
