The important thing about the past is that we learn from it. And you have learned through AA and your HP to be who you are today. That is awesome. Not recognizable from who you were back then.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-79170289343297743632012-03-02T04:37:53.311-07:002012-03-02T04:37:53.311-07:00I believe this photo was taken in 1980 - I don'...I believe this photo was taken in 1980 - I don't know the girls were born in March 1979, they look like they're a year old here?<br /><br />And my niece said this picture summed up all the years we had lived in a small town in New Mexico together.Mary Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156474205414127488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-60874912105360274572012-03-02T04:25:06.729-07:002012-03-02T04:25:06.729-07:00Cool picture.

My daughter has the same feelings for the past, and I'm slowly turning the "artifacts" over to her.<br /><br />I absolutely love the moment caught here. You seem overwhelmed and just a little put out not being able to concentrate on drinking. Your brother is oblivious to helping you in any way. The little ones have no idea what lies ahead. It's the 70's by the decor and hair style. That's the beauty of the camera, seeing how life, how people have changed. Pictures can be bittersweet, but in this picture at least 3 people have a life they never imagined.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-49622806914566345812012-03-01T21:55:50.774-07:002012-03-01T21:55:50.774-07:00What a touching post.
