A True Photo Story

I rescued this photo from a thrift store.  It was in a shoebox of hundreds of other old photos, but this one spoke to me.  There is no date, names or location written on the back.  There is no indication of who, where or when the photo was taken.  If I wanted to research it there are no clues as to where to begin.  This was probably once a cherished photo, but now it is forgotten.  That makes me sad.  I’m sure that the great-great granddaughter of this couple would give anything to have this photo of her great-great grandparents wedding day.  I know I would give anything to have a photo from my great-great grandparent’s wedding!

Photographs may not mean much to you in the moment, but years down the road they become priceless heirlooms.

If you don’t recount your family history, it will be lost. Honor your own stories and tell them too. The tales may not seem very important, but they are what binds families and makes each of us who we are. ~Madeleine L’Engle

Since I have had this photo in my possession it’s been on my mind.  In my subconscious.  It was the inspiration for this photo. A future heirloom………………
