Just a quick post this go around.
In all of the hoarding of photos and memorabilia, I am saddened that there are no photos of my baptism nor is there a single photo of my birth father holding me as an infant, nor any of his family with me as a baby. Those are things that are lost to me. When Ma passed away, Daddy made sure I had her cedar chest and the various photo books that dealt with me, her and her family. There are none. I have congratulations cards for my birth. I have a few first birthday cards. But no actual photos of my with any Contorchick relatives as an infant.
So, I was sidetracked and did not hit publish! ugh…
