We all assume that getting old is ugly but this is not always the case beauty in old age can be beautiful depending on how you care for yourself in the early stages of your life by caring for your well being health wise is the most important factor the saying goes you will look and be in what you eat during your life , eating healthy is essential for the beauty of the body and of course love and joy all goes hand in hand feeling good about yourself is what beauty of growing old is all about.

These black and white photos go back many years when i visited the home town in Italy were my parents were born and sadly to say all the people in these photos whom i am related to have all passed away.

This first photo was my beautiful Grandmother my mom's mother who , i got to see when i was a little boy in her home village of Italy she was such a loving and gentle lady passing away peacefully at the of 102 years old. Till we meet again God bless you Grandma... RIP 💖

Next up is my awesome Father and best friend he was just the best taught me a lot and bought me up to what i am today he always told me to love and respect people and today that has made me a better person. My Dad as most Italian's loved growing there own grapes and making there own wines and my Dad did make one of the best home made red wines that would knock you to the ground with a couple of glasses. He sadly left this Earth 12 years ago dearly missed and i miss his red wine. I am sure he is making the best red wine in heaven 😉

These photos are beautiful memories of your family members. We miss them so much when our grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles pass on.

Nice photos and more beautiful memories 💟
I didn't know your parents were born in Italy. It is a country that is calling my attention... it would be interesting if we could go back in time now and get to know the time in which our grandparents lived (when they were young).

My grandmother passed away when I was very young and I did not also get the chance to know her. But she was also a very kind and caring lady. I understand how you must've felt, same here. We are growing older by the day and will become elder soon hahahaha :D

Yes, life is so short and precious, we must enjoy every second of it. and most importantly life is so unpredictable, we cannot know what will happen in the next few minutes. So we must enjoy every second, cheers my dear friend.

I thought the lady in the last photo doesn't look Italian ;)
Your dad looks very nice and simpatico and I the photos show a lot of fun and happiness. Certainly you have countless great memories of your family.
It's sad when beloved people go, but we all have to go one day and who knows, maybe we all will meet again :)

Cheers and !BEER

102 years, wow... that´s a very impressive age. I know the Italians have one of the longest life expectancies in the world. They obviously know how to live :)
