My Grandparents



While I was home over Christmas and New Years, we started going through old photos of my grandparents. I remember seeing these pictures as a little girl, but I never really got how special they were until I got older. My grandfather was a U.S. Senator and throughout his lifetime got to travel throughout the world and meet some incredible people. He and my Grandma had the most incredible stories.  They've both passed now, but I love this piece of history that's in my family's past.

  38. It's an honor to have a grandfather who was once a senator of the United States of America. You must be really proud of him, Natalie. How thoughtful of you and Matt to save all these photos - they are worth keeping mementos, indeed. Not to mention, most of his pictures were with John F. Kennedy. By the way, your grandparents' picture together looks so great!
