All in the Family
Cyril and I married in February, 1968. Three years later we welcomed our first son, Keith. I purchased a little blue suit for him and took a picture. When he outgrew it I put it away. Three years later another son, Dwayne, was born and of course out came the suit and we took a picture of him. For some reason the suit was put away again. Seven years later, Gary was born and another picture with the blue suit was taken. Then six years passed and along comes Matthew. Well, of course the suit was taken out again an another picture was taken. A few years later our first grandson was born and when he came to Newfoundland to visit us he had a picture taken with his dad's suit on. Then grandson number two was born and another picture taken. Then lo and behold we had a granddaughter. Her mom made sure that this little girl was going to have her picture taken in the blue suit also! Eight years later her little brother had his picture taken wearing the same suit. In 2018 we celebrated our 50th anniversary and our sons decided to surprise us with a picture of them now in their 30s and 40s. One of them had purchased a blue t-shirt and gotten someone to make it as much like their baby suit as possible. Each of them had his picture taken with this shirt on a presented it to us at our party. What a splendid surprise! We still have the original suit. Who knows who will wear it next! Submitted By: NULL
