Photos - Authenticate! Yes, I was here!
Not sure at the age of 2, I would have remembered my beloved Aunt Sarah placing me on the hood of a 1949 Chevy! The photo here I am most certain was taken for my Aunt too, as she really loved me and often was known to "spoil" her little niece. This photo was placed in my 'Baby" book by my mother, Aunt Sarah's sister, and I treasure it. Yep, that was me - all grins, and standing on top of a car with my favorite Aunt, holding me tight. Lots of subliminal messages in that photo as she continued though my life to always be there for me, until she lost her ability to take care of herself, and then I took over for her before she passed on. Sharing it now helps me speak to the importance of taking and archiving photos throughout the life of a child. Photos record a person's growth and travels through life. So a child is borne, the pictures show the baby, so what's next helps a child to gain a sense of self and their own personality in development. "
