Memories

I’ve taken on a project of going through all of our home made videos. When I was a kid my parents filmed a lot, not only holildays and birthday’s, but everyday stuff as well. A few years ago my dad managed to get all of it into a computer and now it is all in my computer. I’m going through them all and cutting them down to more manageable lengths and sorting them by year and event. It’s a lot of fun to sit and watch. I’ve so far gotten up to the end of 1989. Which means my brother is a funny 4 year old and I am a very blonde 2 year old. Sometimes it’s hilarious.

One bit which I got stuck watching over and over again is when we’re at my paternal grandparents house and playing in the garden. My grandfather was an amazing man, truly one of a kind. He was the epitome of what a grandfather should be. Patient. Kind. Playful. Funny. Trustworthy. Truly amazing. He passed away in April 2005 and I still miss him a lot. It’s a lot of fun to watch the old clips with him in them. He was very special to me and we were very close. He taught me so much. I love this photo of us. Absolutely love it. Probably one of the best photos I have of him and of me. Just look how cool we are
