The Sweetest Things in Life....

Sometimes the sweetest things in life are the simplest.  This evening I started to archive old family video from VHS and 8MM of my family and Carrie's family.  I must say it is just awesome to have such memories.  My parents; nor did any of my extended family members have a VHS Camcorder until later in life.  My uncle Dredo was the first to purchase one in our family and he used it very well.  He captured some memories that if I didn't have I wouldn't be able to share them with my family.  My father in law Danny AKA dad is also another brilliant man who invested in his family wisely and captured those family memories.  A shout out to my dad for buying one of the top of the line Olympus SLR's back in the day the OM2 and he took some awesome photos of mom, myself, and my brother growing up.  Also dad later bought a SONY HandyCam that he used to capture some moments with my grandfather and grandmother in Guyana that we would have never had if it wasn't for him.

I just want to say these guys are my heroes.  They really have motivated me to continue capturing those precious moments and archive them away for our children.  Don't feel silly to pull out a camera and take some video or snap a photo or two; because as the years go by, and they go by fast; you won't regret it.
