Tiffany and Keola Through the Years

An article in the New York Times caught my eye one morning. It was about a photographer who started taking photos every year for 40 years of 4 sisters. 

It was intriguing to see the sisters mature from when they were in their 20's to their 60's.

So anyway, I had this bright idea which took me an entire day to complete. I could manage finding photos of our children from every year when they were younger and at home, but when they left home, it got a bit trickier.

I had to look for photos that had just the two of them which was easy when they lived at home. In fact, I had too many (and I just couldn't choose) so sometimes, I put more than one photo of them in for that year. 😁

When they left home and Keola started living in different parts of the world, it got trickier to find a photo of them together so I had to just select photos of them separately. But this was just for a few years because Keola made it a point to come together whenever it could be managed. 

Keola was in Mali with the Peace Corps in 2002, but he came home to be part of Tiffany's wedding party.

I was happy that I could compile 46 years of their lives.

I uploaded them to an album on the Google Photos app and added dates and information on what was happening in the photos.

I think what makes us most happy and proud is the love and friendship that has bound these siblings together throughout their lives. 

Here they are in 2023 when we all came together in Tokyo from different parts of the world.

When I think about it now, my younger brother and I have also shared that same bond. And you know what? Art and his older sister (whose name is also Kay 😂) are still very close and talk to each other every Saturday. 

I guess we're all very lucky.

And yes, the kids were very, very happy to see the Google Album of their lives together when I sent them the link.
