Last picture of my grandfather that passed away when my mom was 3 months pregnant with me.
My parents had 3 boys within 2 years but my mom still yearned for her girl. Shortly after this picture he had a massive heart attack. Before he passed, he told my mom she was having a girl and he would be sure to give me his eyes. I’m the only one in my family with blond hair and blue eyes. Everyone else has dark brown hair and brown eyes. I never knew him but I have the desk in the picture and I love to run my fingers across his writing that indented the surface.
The picture is from a family genealogy book my great aunt created.
