I never thought about this before--some of the photos I inherited when mom died are pictures of cousins and aunts and uncles. They were taken when those relatives were at our house for first communions or birthdays, but you know what? Those cousins never saw the pics because they were taken by mom, so they stayed at our house. YOU probably have photos in your collections too, of people who would love those photos if they only knew they existed. The internet and a scanner make it much more possible now, too, or just send the originals. What a gift!

What to do with old photographs
Last month, cousin Sue stopped in with her husband John. They were home from Nebraska, this time not for a funeral. We had a wonderful chat, and I showed her pics I have of her as a child. She hadn't seen a few of them, ever.
