Exploring new horizons ... my brother's baby photo

.

 

 

I want to post a photo very close to me for several reasons. It is a photo of my brother the day he was born. It took some work/ restoration but; I finally found one of Ricky's baby photos from way back when he was born in 1970. The first time I saw my brother at the hospital I was very happy to see this little face almost too small to handle in my arms. With the exception of two; I remember the day every one of my sibling's were born especially the youngest one Ricky.

 

 

I remember seeing my good friend James who was at the hospital to see about his newborn baby; James had his camera and I asked him to take a couple of photos of my baby brother; we both walked into the nursery room where all the babies were being attended to by some real nice nurses; I asked one if I could ... pointing to James and his camera ... she must've read my mind; without saying a single word simply motioned to go ahead. There are only two photos of Ricky taken at the hospital when he was born; this is one ... mom was in her room exhausted; it was less than a year before; dad had passed away ...The first time I ever saw your face... Voy a brindar por ti... Little wonder I love my brother so much; he is my only surviving brother from a group of four rambunctious kids.

 

 

I had the photo restored recently to improve the quality; some of our family photos were damaged during a storm in our area. Read below for some additional information in your comments from family members. I was reminded today how fragile/precious life is ... I wish to be able and take pain away form all my friends; I know it's only a fantasy but it 'd be nice; so nice to be able to wipe pain sorrow I hear about almost daily

 

 

Keep the faith friends~

 

 

Love & Peace
