Photos are our most precious treasure [week 139]
Greetings,
Dear friends today I decided for this week's topic to answer the topic below.
Weekend on fire
Your house is on fire - You manage to get your family and pets out of the house safely and have time to go back for only one single item. What is it and why? Remember, only one single item, not two, or three.
In a hypothetical situation where my house burns down and I have to rescue something material, many things always come to mind and as human beings who make mistakes we have the bad habit of getting very attached to material things, and why not if most of them the value we give them is related to the sacrifice we made to acquire them.
I am a man passionate about history and memories and just for a few months I have been working on collecting information from my ancestors, I have realized that we should always talk to our grandparents about their childhood and their family to know where we come from and why we are what we are.
Image from the 1930s showing my great-great-grandmother and great-grandfather who came from Lebanon looking for quality of life at that time.
At the time of a fire after rescuing my family and pets the only material thing I would like to rescue would be the family photo album.
Having my family with me wherever I am and with the photo album I can instill memories in my children and be able to tell the stories that make them remember those photos.
With that I can make my children feel part of those stories and they will always remember those family members that we have already lost.
For example my youngest daughters the twins are named Neribel which is my mom's name but she was no longer alive when they were born, the day will come when they will ask why they are named Neribel and it is only with the pictures I can show them of my mom that I can tell them that Neribel was their grandmother and that is where their name comes from.
With the pictures of my grandfather I can explain to you that the name Neribel was created by my grandfather in a mix of the name Neris my grandmother and bel de Bernardo her name.
With the photos we can also see traits and the similarities of our physical appearance and is where one with fundamentals can say you look like your aunt or you look just like your grandmother and when they ask you why you look for the photo album and there is the answer.
Photo albums also show our evolution as you will always see how your house was in the past and how you have it now for example or you can see some pictures with the car you had and with the one you have now.
I think my answer is complete and well defined so see you in the comments box.
Thank you for reading my lines and God bless you greatly, the pictures are my own taken with the Infinix Hot 10 i cell phone.

This is the only article I would run to find the photos, I also like to inquire of my past ancestors and since I was little I have sat down with my grandmothers to ask them about everything, I am very happy because I did it at the perfect time before their memory was lost.
Your daughters will inherit a lot of wealth knowing their family background, nice pictures including your great great grandparents, I have pictures only of my great grandparents.
I'm glad you did it in time, my friend, I still have two guys left alive that I want to interview hehe to finish tying up loose ends.
🤣
I had not thought of that, but you are right in the photographs we can remember and show others the changes we have had and even the similarities we have with our ancestors, it is a great tool and very necessary.
Yes, my friend, that is the most useful tool to maintain that rootedness for the family.
Excelente elección amigo @soychalbed, las fotografías son la representación gráfica de tus mas bonitos o hasta tristes recuerdos, y la lógica que nos explicas tiene mucho sentido, con ella les pues presentar a tus antepasados a los actuales familiares y sobre todo demostrarle sus verdaderos orígenes.
Hay ocasiones en el que uno le dice a su hijo te pareces a tu bisabuela y ella te dice muéstrame una foto y no tenemos como presentársela, yo también siento mucho apego emocional a mis gratos recuerdos.
Saludos y bendiciones a tus hermosa princesas amigo
How beautiful your answer! And you are very right, it is something very valuable, worth saving! I also love photographs, I like to look at them through time and be able to remember or relive moments. Excellent your post ✔️💯.
Thank you for stopping by to read if you really consider that there is nothing more valuable than having arguments to remember.
