I'd like to show you pictures of who started it all, these are my maternal grandparents 9EE51B67-A725-4AF2-8A01-8970EF1EF576.jpeg
And these are my paternal grandparents who had nineteen children!!24B8E86A-1924-4455-BA22-5234FFFA271D.jpeg
This picture is of my parents with the first four of their children, I would have stopped right there!lol This next one is a picture of me with my eight sisters, I'm the cute one on the bottom left lol4ABD628A-64F0-41A4-86A4-EA7D80922F5F.jpeg
My parents were married sixty eight years before my dad passed away at ninety years old, his dying last words were to his children, take care of mama. He wad true to her till the end.
My mom died of dementia four years later, years of not knowing who anyone was, barely speaking, she would yell ( she had never raised her voice before) Manuel, Manuel!! It broke our hearts to hear her do that. She still remembered her husband till the end. Theirs was a love so rare I know they are in heaven looking down at their 135 descendents lovingly watching us and that gives me comfort.
Here they are when my mom first showed signs of dementia. They will forever be missed and forever be loved, thank you for taking the time to read this love you all C702D07A-B1C9-4FE9-BE07-342693DFE338.jpeg And lastly here are most of my siblings with my parents25011469-B165-4ED8-B65F-0F25419C9BCE.jpeg

Thank you so much Melinda! Thank you for reading and liking and the tip ❤️❤️

So cool you have those old photos. That's the great thing about printed photos. As for me, I accidentally formatted my hard drive containing nearly 1 terabyte of old photo's from my college days. I did manage to recover most of them...but it still sucks that I have to worry about them being digitally lost.

Oh man that happened to me but I did lose all my pictures five thousand of them I cried alot for a long time I'm so happy you got most of yours back! Yes its a worry

Aw, Ceci! Your post radiates love!!!❤♡❤
