my nanny and nana

Today I finally saw a pic of my grandfather, my mother's father. I had never seen his picture before and I still cannot believe that it is him. I waited on my mom to come home from work in order to verify that the man in the pic was my grandfather. When my mom came home, I showed her the picture on my pc and she said yes that is daddy. My uncle had this pic for ages now at the family house in Guyana, my mom had moved to Trinidad and married my dad and well we never had a pic, he had refused to make copies of the pic and distribute it. Today his daughter sent the pic to my bro via e-mail. For that I am grateful. It was the first time my dad saw a pic of him too. he asked to see it twice! Yeah this pic is a really big deal for us. Now I feel a little bit more grounded, instead of a fruit just hanging from a branch, now I have more stability to a family tree:D. My mom doesn't talk much about her parents( I wish she would!) however my dad likes to sit us down and give us all the stories from his childhood ( I love those!)

WILL Post my dad's mom and dad pic here as soon as I get it.
I never knew any grandparent, but I am eternally grateful that I have my parents:D. I remember the day my nanny died, I didn't cry or anything because I didn't know her, but when my mom came home and my dad told her, I started to cry when I saw how much my mom started crying. It was probably the first time that I ever really saw my mom cry.
