Old family photos give us permission to take a timeout from our current lives to remember, reminisce, honor, and learn from the past – we can celebrate the people and places that have helped forge our journey along the way and made us who we are today.

You could say old family photos are timeless, but maybe more appropriately they’re time-full – full of emotion and sentimental remembrance, a tribute to that moment in time.

A week ago today was my adoption anniversary. I arrived in the U.S. on April 15, 1981 from South Korea to meet my parents for the first time at Logan Airport in Boston.

Looking back at old family photos reminds me of that time, what’s truly important to me, how lucky I feel to be alive.
