Lost Photographs by Sonni Quick published on 2020-03-13T03:05:24Z This photograph is my great-grandmother, born in 1890. she lived in our home my entire childhood up to age 14 in 1968 when she died of a bad heart. I have spent so many hours staring at her baby pictures while imagining her life. She became a stunning woman and gradually became the Nana I knew. We go through so many physical changes in our lives but we feel like we are the same person inside. She lost three babies, each at age six months to SIDS - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Such heartache she went through. She loved each of them for six months and woke up one morning to their unexplained death. I never knew until I was grown. Eventually, most people became only a name on the back of a photograph. Since everything now is digital we are losing even that to pass on. I have my great grandmother's original baby pictures. My family today is unaware of these photographs. At one time I tried to create interest in family but I failed. So it is up to me to remember. She was such a beautiful baby. My love to you Edith May Brown Ferden. I dedicate this music to you. Comment by Chris Scheri Beautiful dedication I am sure she hears this for her from spirit, Sonni. I have been here with this music before.

I was drawn by your commentary I remembered from here and your photo in your improvised piece.... how very strange is this life in that way....and the water rose over her head and she was seen no more... this is true as people pass out of living memory. My Aunt has asked me to send her family photographs for archives she hopes to pass down through the generations. Doing it this weeekend. None of us are Shakespeare. :) 2020-06-19T17:08:12Z Comment by Chris Scheri Are you playing the flute?

But especially struck by your piano history - eerily similar to mine. Lessons at 8-9, again at 12 but was asked to quit, a few months at 14, but then 6 months at 19, when a guy finally showed me HOW to play, not what to play. Learned more from him than any others. 2020-04-23T03:07:27Z Comment by Liz Dicker such a beautiful and exquisite piece Sonni.... 2020-04-22T20:22:13Z
