I didn't have many photos of my paternal grandparents, whom I couldn't meet because they died in 1969, but one day talking to one of my aunts, she showed me a photo album that I didn't know existed. In this album I found this image. I think it is one of the most beautiful portraits of my paternal family.
From the left we can see in the photo my grandmother Adelaida Rivera Pérez carrying my uncle Gustavo. Then we see my aunts Hayde and María Elena together with my father Roberto. And finally my grandfather Guillermo Olazo Villena appears.

This was taken the day of my sister’s first communion. There are not many generations in this one shot but it means a lot to me as four of these people are no longer with us. Some left long ago and some much more recently. I miss them all every day.
My sister and I are both in pink, I'm the little one at the front and Monica is behind me. The adults are: My uncle Angel (deceased), his daughter Merche, my Father Jose Antonio (deceased), his sister Angela (deceased), my Mother Itziar, my cousin Inma (deceased) and her then boyfriend Ladislao.
