Inside the tackle box my mom found an old roll of undeveloped film.
My dad passed away in 1977 when I was 5 years old so we knew the film was at least 19 years old. And she had no idea what was on the roll.
So my mom took it in to see if it could still be developed or if it was too old/damaged. And this is what was on the roll of film....my first birthday.
The quality of the photos is obviously horrible because it was so old when it was finally developed but the pictures still brought tears to my eyes.

My Grandpa in the blue shirt...this photo was also on the roll of film but I'm not sure it was from my birthday party.
This is my 1 year photo. On the back was captioned "came down with measles the next day".

LMAO! Kelly, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out! OMG! That's my "WTF" look for sure!!!!....I was probably thinking "Can we please speed this up...WTF do I look like a lap doll?"
That is amazing, especially with you losing your dad at such a young age. What a treasure.
Those are so precious. What a treasure to find.

What a great treasure to find. The same thing happened to me a few years back and it was a roll of film I found in an old box of my Mother's. It ended up being pics of Christmas 1985 when I got my first camera. It was so much fun getting them back. Like yours, the quality wasn't great but still the image was there and it brought tears to my eyes looking through the stack. Enjoy!
What wonderful memories.
I would have cried,too.
What a treasure! Wow, that deserves a big fat congrats!! Precious you!
I love old time pictures like this, and look at that CAKE! WOW, how cute!
