Thank you @galenkp for this week topic. I thought your dad's painting is a picture until I read your post. Excellent skills to make it like that. Thank you for sharing with us.
For this week, I would like to share an old photograph of me with my parents and my great-grandparents. This is one of the fews photos in my childhood with my loved ones. When I was small, my parents were busy working in the rice fields so they sent me to live with my great-grandparents. It was a difficult time for us all so I can remember it vividly. We didn't have much but we have lots of love for each other. When I left oversea, I chose this photo to bring with me so I can look at them when I miss home.
Nice to have a photograph of the family together a couple of generations back, something to keep with you forever!
G-Dog (@galenkp) had me thinking about this all weekend, especially after seeing his Dad's great art, now he needs to take individual photographs to see more!
Thank you @joanstewart, actually this is the only one we have with my great-grandparents and I just realise I haven't got a good quality digital copy of it. I should have to back it up in case I lost the original one.
I would have the photograph scanned and saved, one never knows, digital copies would make it easier to load and see whenever the mood takes.
I'm surprised more people haven't shared a cherished photo as I think most of us have them.
It must have been difficult being away from your parents but your grandparents probably cared for you just as well and probably imparted some great lessons right?
Thanks for sharing.
Oh they are actually my great-grandparents. For some reasons, we were not close with my grandparents.
And yes, you are right. I got great influence to become a good person from them. They practiced Buddhism so very often my bedtime stories were about it. Every now and then when I have a chat with my parents, we often talk about our old time and we are all so grateful to be close with my great-grandparents.
Ah I'm sorry my mistake. It would have been very cool to meet my great grandparents but I never had that chance.
No worries @galenkp. Btw love your new profile picture
Thank you, I change it all the time to keep things interesting.
