The loss of all their photos in the following years was hard for them. When my Aunt married into the family she asked around and made copies of every photo anyone else had of the family and put them all into an album. It is only one album big but it is so very precious to my two cousins and my Uncle. I am very glad that your family was safe, but it is amazing what memories a photo triggers. I think it was the best moment of clarity ever!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893669562473986542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334129050294190562.post-62116279200697293062013-01-06T11:47:22.747+00:002013-01-06T11:47:22.747+00:00Sheena, what a story this is!
