I think most of  us have old Black and white/ Sepia photos of our parents Grandparents......dressed for the photo...........

I have pictures of me as a small baby and child and looking at them my grandkids (and kids) think I must be ancient now............

I have a photo of my dad's family.......all eleven of them my dad is a baby in arms, must have been 1908 or 1909.....because he was the little surprise for his parents

 A nice surprise 

Not judging by the look on my granny's face in the picture 😂

For some just being happy for being alive was enough........ for some they just kept it inside and their dreams were a constant reminder..............
