For its a miracle
How one soul finds another
Just one miracle
Is all it took my father
And I will see them someday
They'll walk again together
I believe, I believe
This I will believe, I believe.

Happy Birthday to my dad. I catch his birthday on my watch almost every day, 1:11 and I kiss my watch. Both of my parents passed in 2005 after 64 years of marriage.
This is a very old photo of my mother, father and big brother in their first home in Pacific Palisades in 1948. I was born 8 1/2 years after my brother.
I am feeling nostalgic and yearning for simpler times before the life altering Palisades Fire. I am glad my parents didn't have to go through the Palisades or Malibu fires.
My parents lived in this home for 26 years, then moved to Malibu for another 29 years.
A lovely family photo something to bring nostalgia and fond memories ! Sad these people of the fires will have no homes or photographic memories to cling to !
Fabulous vintage pic. your dad reminds me a lot of my own dad (who also smoked a pipe) and would have been roughly the same age group...I have an older sister (also 6 years older). Sadly by dad passed in 1976 (my mum in 2010). Very sad to read and see on TV the dreadful damage these fires have and are causing.
A lovely old shot of your parents and brother. Such photos increase in value over the years. I scanned all my mums photos after she died in 2021, and they bring her and my dad closer when I look at them.
As for the fires, they are a terrible thing, and cause great heartache. Hopefully they will soon be brought under control.
A lovely photo of your mom and dad and big brother! Oh yes- this photo really does take us back to simpler times. And yes- I share your gratefulness that your parents didn't have to experience the fires. I am following the news of the fires and my heart goes out to everyone affected. Such trauma and heartache! Take care, Cathee! xx
Wonderful memories for you. They both look very relaxed in this old picture. May they rest in peace. Sad days to see such a big area finishing as ruins because of the fires. I hope every person is safe.
Thank you. I do have my wonderful and happy memories. I lost both my parents in 2005. I was fortunate to have my childhood home and town for an additional 20 years but I thought my town would be there always...my anchor. And I knew my home would look the same with the current owner.
