Photos of Me When I Was Little, in the Philippines

 
 


These photos were taken (apparently) when we went to visit my grandmother (my Mom's mother) for the very last time before we emigrated to Australia. I got to see my grandmother one more time before she died, but my Mom didnt, after we moved to Australia, she never saw her family again.
 

These are my cousins and my grandmother (the one with the white hair..duh..lol)
Can you pick me? My sister Suzanne is to my left and my brother Christian..the one who died at the age of 35..is on my right. My cousin who recently died after a very long bout with cancer is second from the left in the front row.  I received these photos after she died....it was so nice of her to have them sent to me. These are the only photos I have of my family in the Philippines.
 
 
 

This is my Mom, sister Suzanne, Dad, brother Christian, me and cousin Tina.
I love black and white photos...they seem to add something to the character of the photograph.
 
 
 
I want to add this photo of my brother Christian, this photo was taken the year he died, he was 35...he died of a very severe asthma attack on a trip down south of Perth...miles from the nearest town and he didnt have his ventolin inhaler with him.
This is his wife Anne who was pregnant with their second child when he died...and their first born little boy Ben.

I picked you out right away in the first photo. I am so sorry about Christian. He grew up to be a very good-looking guy. Have you stayed in touch with his wife?
