Whenever we go through our parents’ old photo albums, we always get the biggest smiles. It’s very unusual to see our moms and dads in their youths, but it’s always a beautiful experience. We were touched to see many of you, our readers, letting us into such an intimate part of your lives and want to spread this lovely feeling to others.
