When You Think of Small




Oh,all right.What is the title has to do with this?
Need to get attention?
Noticed that I am getting older and never a day goes by saying,gee!I wonder what I looked liked as a baby.
Please no comments on this.LOL.
I know that we were very dirt poor with all the children's that my parents had.
Did not see any baby pictures of me.
Even being a youth growing up and never saw any.
I would have loved to know what I look like.
Was I cute,handsome,ugly etc.
Knowing that my parents were immigrant coming from a wonderful country of "Italia"
They were not educated,poor and looking for a life in this wonderful country of ours.
No one had a camera and not sure what they had in those days.
Did I wear a diaper?pants,surely it was not Calvin Klein shorts.
Many of you out there have baby pictures.
That is great.
Wonder what I weigh,how long I was etc.
Could not get any information on this.
Why do we think of all these things that we wanted to know.
Most of it our fault.
Never asked any question.
Mommy "Where did I come from"?
But it is too late to ask these question.
All of them are gone.
With just the two of us are left.
My brother did not have any pictures at all.
Not even himself.
What is the story here.
Ask your parents a lot of question and get answered.
Pictures,where did you come from etc.
A lot of history goes down in the drain.
I am very sorry that I let this get away.
Sure,I got some answers about my parents when they came here and settled down.
Missed all of this.
Why do I think small?
Because I missed all of this.
Do your self a favor,gather all the information and keep it somewhere.
When you have a family,you will be saying.
When You Think Of Small.
Good Afternoon.FREDO

I don't have many "baby pictures" either. In fact, I asked my father recently why we didn't have Christmas photos. I do know I was a chubby child, very much unlike I am now. Perhaps you were, too!

Guess that we were all chubby then.

Fredo, life is in the present but we all like to know about the past and
those that have gone before. Before my grandparents died, I had them tell
me all they could remember. I have pictures of them and of one set of
great grandparents on their wedding day and later when they were in
their sixties. They are priceless to me. I found two books entitled,
Grandmother, Tell Me your Story and got them for Adrienne and Ashley and
filled them out. They didn't act thrilled to get them but will probably
enjoy them later. I understand your desire to know.

I have some information on some of my aunts and uncle.But not on my mom and dad.My children do not have any interest in this.

Most of us wait until too late to ask our parents, and if we are lucky we have cousins we can ask about some things, but there is always a gap somewhere. I have a list of things I'm going to ask my dad if I ever meet him in the afterlife.

So true.I know that I did.Then again liked I said my parents were immigrant and did not speak English all that well.This is where the problem is for me.

Well, if you looked anything like I did when you were a kid, you're better off without the pictures. I knew a lot of those answers, but forgot most of it. I remember that I was born at 5:30pm, but that and 64 cents will get me a senior coffee at McDonald's. I can understand how you feel about not knowing, but in the scheme of things--life in the present--it doesn't make much difference.

I would have loved to see any baby pictures of me or any information.

My eldest son and his wife found out that they were going to be parents a couple of months before Christmas. About a month later, he was sending me sms texts asking me for all the info I could give him about our family history. He was quite surprised when I was able to give him quite a lot of data about 'us'. I haven't seen what kind of tree he is doing (yet) but I will see it soon.
I think it is very important to keep details of all your kin.

Not only important but think that it could be fun.Something to laugh,cry or anything.I would have loved this.

Oh and I am sure u were an ADORABLE child!
comment by kristilyn3 on Jan 9, 2011 1:32 PM ()
Maybe,even ugly.An Italian baby.
reply by fredo on Jan 10, 2011 1:54 PM ()
Very wise advice! I actually gave my parents little books to fill out with lots of info. I loved reading it and have it for future reference.
comment by kristilyn3 on Jan 9, 2011 1:32 PM ()
that is a good idea there.Good for you about your parents little books to fill out with information.
