James & Rosemarie Forciea
My grandma
My grandpa
The whole family (minus grandma) at my Aunt Marie's first communion.
Kinda blurry, but I love this photo of my Grandma Rosemarie.
Unlike most people, I did not know my dad's parents. They both died before I was born and when I went to Wisconsin last month, I was so happy to see these pictures because I had only ever seen one picture each of my grandparents. I'm not joking or exaggerating. I had never seen pictures of my grandparents or of my dad & his siblings when they were young. It may sound silly, but seeing these pictures brought tears of joy to my eyes. I saw features in my grandparents that I see in myself and my brother and sisters. I loved seeing them in their youth, happy and having fun. I will be overjoyed to meet them on the other side.
