We never think to include ourselves in the pictures...

So my brother , sister and I have been trying to put together a photo album in remembrance of our mother. This December 17 th it will have been 15 years since she died. That is so hard to see in writing. Well, I have been looking through all of my pictures. I have a lot since my dad divided up most of the pictures that he had and gave them to us. More on that later or another time. But it has been sad to find how little pictures I have of my mom. There are lots of us kids and some with my dad but only a handful of pictures with her in them. We don't normally think , yeah I should take a picture with me in it so when I'm gone my kids can have a picture of me.My mom was really good at having us take family pictures though. It really makes me more aware to get lots of pictures with all the family in them!
