I have just come across a whole disc worth of photos my brother kindly downloaded onto my pc nearly 2 years ago. He was here on holiday and I was so excited at the prospect of having all these pictures and short videos to look at once he left, but somehow I didn’t get around to looking at all of them. It has just taken me half an hour to take a trip through my nephews 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th birthdays, my late grandma’s funeral, funny random nights out and various other family events I missed out on. My brother also assembled a collage of photos of my nephew that I never even new existed until a few moments ago.
What a teary half hour I have spent, seeing him in outfits I bought for him, watching the weight of various family members (my own included) go up and down, seeing the smiles of cousins who to this day I haven’t seen in my adult life and just missing the ‘old country’ so very dearly.
So I want to thank my brother for being so thoughtful, I don’t think I thanked him properly at the time. Some of the photos I have seen already (and my sister has sent me heaps over the years too) but as for those elusive portraits I have only just discovered- you have made my day Kristian, 2 years on.
