Dear Photograph,

All those years ago, before I was even here, you and sissy were having fun in the same yard all our kids have had fun in. Nobody would have imagined you would be the first to go. Happy Birthday Brandel! We lost you almost 7 years ago and we still miss you everyday.

With great love,
Your Family

Dear Photograph,
Believe it or not, skinned knees aren’t the worst thing that can happen to you.
Love, 18 year-old you.

Dear Photograph,

This was my great uncles and grandfathers automotive shop in Dublin called Burney Brothers Garage. They sold Royal Enfield motorcycles and raced in the Isle of Man TT. They were also in business with Stanley Woods, who was an Irish motorcycle racer famous for 29 Grand Prix wins and winning the Isle of Man TT races 10 times in his career.

When the remaining family members went back to Dublin two weeks ago it was so special to be back in the place they lived and worked all their lives.

Dear Photograph,

Looking back to our childhood here I am with my brothers and cousins on the Red Rock. We spent every summer playing on the beach surrounded by family. Today the Red Rock is buried in sand.

Lots of love from Deanlea Beach, Ontario, Canada.

Dear Photograph,
It has been over 60 years since this photo was taken in La Baie, Quebec of my mother and her siblings. We are so lucky to be able to still visit this beautiful spot that has gone unchanged by time with these very same people.

Dear Photograph,
We took the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and missed visiting the twin towers. The next day (Note the timestamp on the original photo) will be forever etched in our hearts, as we drove further and further away, watching the skys unfold with so much heartache. Freedom… that word has never meant so much to us.
Love to the families, -Stephanie

Dear Photograph,
The three little man and women are now in 3 countries apart. Home gives us the bonding laugh.

Dear Photograph,
I was born in India, but at the age of 2 years old I moved to Italy with my family. I never came back to India until last year, when I was 30. There, I was with my father near the Indian ocean.

Dear Photograph,
You move away from your beloved childhood home when you’re 12, and take up residence on the East Coast. You return for a visit right before leaving for college. You’ll accomplish so many things, but always yearn to be that happy little girl running around the yard in the summertime once more.
Love, Your Bright Future

Dear Photograph,
The house has gone through many colors since that day about 36 years ago. So much has changed but so much has stayed the same too. Even though Nanny is gone, it’s still “going to Nanny’s house” when I travel back home.

Dear Photograph,
The whole family gathered at our place to celebrate Nana’s 70th
birthday. Nana turned 92 yesterday. Happy Birthday Nana, wish we could
all be getting together again today. Love you lots,
