So very sad to hear of your brother passing at such a young age.<br /><br />This past weekend a dear friend was in town, who's husband died at 48 of melanoma in 2001. She is doing well and it was great to see her, but everytime I do, it's a reminder to appreciate what family I have left, as was this post too.<br />xo,<br />~RAcanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673962965526409194.post-54052234839304269932012-02-13T05:51:21.926-08:002012-02-13T05:51:21.926-08:00I love this post....your Dad's ears.....unopen...I love this post....your Dad's ears.....unopened letters.....All of my family is gone also except for brothers and sisters...no aunts or uncles or parents .....it is sad.

I am the "saver of special letters and things" from my family and have framed a number of special things.<br /><br />My parents were married 44 years, but divorced about 4 years ago (how sad is that?!) and I've often wondered about their wedding pictures. Both are still living.<br /><br />When my parents split...a bunch of things came my way, but not so much in one delivery. I'm sure this was an amazing experience. I love old photographs and especially ones of my family.<br /><br />xoxo ElizabethAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395215787881578608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673962965526409194.post-56536305772671089892012-02-02T02:32:59.627-08:002012-02-02T02:32:59.627-08:00I am just seeing this now.

You shared such a personal sad story but injected your wonderful humor into the telling of it...your descriptions are priceless and had me laughing about the ears and pants, etc. in between the tears of the loss of your parents and brother.

The films included my Sweet Sixteen party, my grandparents' 50th anniversary and my oldest son as an infant, among other events. It was so wonderful to "see" my parents and grandparents again and to share these events with my children. It made for a great Christmas surprise for them.<br /><br />All the best,<br />VictoriaVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791296934306530073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673962965526409194.post-55113844274214922582012-01-31T04:41:08.211-08:002012-01-31T04:41:08.211-08:00Oh, how cool.
