It's funny when someone shows you a picture you've never seen before of people you're close to. All our memories are based on vague recollections- pictures bring them into focus. When you see a new old picture, it opens a window into the past and tells you a little more about the people who mean so much to you. Memories come flooding back. It's like an unexpected gift.
My sister sent me this picture this weekend. It made me remember things I had forgotten, like my Mom wearing this coat. I remember how it felt, and going to Shop Rite with her when she was wearing it. And I remember when I was a little girl thinking my Dad was the handsomest man in the world...
