My Grandma and Grandpa, Hillsdale, New York.
August of 1969.
Grandpa had a stroke a year or so earlier. We went to the country place in the summers. They were good to us. Grandpa was 67 and Grandma was 73.

This is an homage to my paternal grandmother & great grandparents, shown here in the Mineral Hill Nevada homestead & silver mining claim.
My grandmother, Mary Pearl, is shown wearing a big bow and plaid dress along with her other siblings.
Photographs help us remember our stories. Save them. ~ shared by @1860_1960

Our Granddad, Charles Edward Niesen, was a kid at heart. A lifelong St. Louis baseball fan – first Browns, then Cardinals – “Eddie” always had his scorecard out at games, keeping track of every play.
He showed the same joyful, longterm commitment to his family. He and Grandma would welcome us into their home with hugs, and chili-mac or pizza.
As we drove away to our lives elsewhere, they always stood on their front porch, waving goodbye until we were out of sight. They cherished every moment with us.
After Granddad died, we went through our old family photos and found his highlight reel. They’re all one-of-a-kind images, of a life well-lived (and loved). Photographs are memories made visible. And tangible.
Save them. ~ shared by @rachellacour

Meet my grandfather, Roy Holliday Sr.
This man had hands of sandpaper and never truly retired. I’m sure if he were to bleed, oil would come out of him, since that’s all he knew and worked with.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him when passing a field of pumpjacks. ~ shared by @loganholliday

My grandmother, from whom I inherited my love of using entertaining to make people feel valued, special and accepted. ~ shared by @thinksplendid

This is my grandmother, Joe Renee Shuffield Niesen. She was named after her father, who I think wished she had been a boy.
He kind of got his wish. In 1938 she was 18 and tenacious. She convinced the men’s military marching band in Little Rock, Arkansas to let her audition.
She was so good they made her the soloist. As the band toured throughout the Midwest, she got her own private hotel room, along
with a chaperone. ~ shared by @andrewniesen

Kodachrome
You give us those nice bright colors,
You give us the greens of summers,
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away.

Mom and Dad in Venezuela.
This is the most beautiful photo I have of them. It means a lot to me since it reminds me that no matter how many things you have to go through, you have to fight with all your heart to keep love alive and your family strong.
They’re still together after 42 years. My Mom got married when she was only 18, to follow my Dad, who was training with the US Army in Virginia. They still live in Venezuela today.
Miss them. ~ shared by @marianbphoto

Dad.
Now, if only I could have half the heart he has, I’d be ok.
This photo was shot about 25 years ago. I found it in an old family photo album on a trip to visit my parents. Until I was an adult, I didn’t really appreciate all that my father has been through. He had a rough upbringing and did his best to ensure it was different for us. It was…and for that, I am deeply grateful. ~ shared by @matthewdejesus

This is my Mom & Dad with my Nana. This is the first day my Mom met her soon-to-be in-laws. My Mother always talks about how welcomed she felt on this day; she could just feel the love all around. My Nana was the most special person. Seattle. 1980. @shuangel ~ shared by @missmariss
