Last Sunday...I was placing some old photos back into one of our albums when I pointed out to my 28 yr old daughter 'here is a picture of your friend Kelly's aunty's wedding'!
She had no idea that I knew Kelly's Dad's sister Jackie or Kelly's mother's sister Barbara back in the early 70's. We all worked to-gether in Unigate offices!
Kelly and my daugher were born 7 days apart and her mum and I were next to one another in hospital and we have remained good friends ever since.
When my mum came to see her newborn grandaughter she was amazed to recognize baby Kelly's grandmother. Kelly's grandmother had fed and nursed me in the same hospital (she had given birth to a son a few days before I was born) all those years ago, as my Mum nearly died and she didn't see me until I was 2 weeks old.
This incident then prompted me to start writing the names of people beside each photograph in that album....all 300 of them!
One album done...6 more (with old photos in) to go! My kids know who everybody is in all the others.
Hope you all do the same...or at least make a start.
