My uncle emailed a bunch of us these photos over the weekend. Photographs of my lolo and lola (which means grandparents in the Philippines) in 1961 right after my dad was born. The two portrait shots are my lola with my Aunt Ruby from 1959. It’s always nice to find gems like these. It reminds me to cherish the moments we have now. I wish I could talk to them both right now!

A weekly email where I share things that made me stop and consider: opinions, other articles on the internet, trying new experiences, and products you might like to buy.

What a precious history. I just posted a photo of my grandfather on my mirror in my room, two hours before reading this post. They are truly special people and I really wish he was here right now, as well! Thanks for sharing.
