  • I came across this really awesome photo sequence of the Brown sisters over 40 years and just had to put them together with music. Several others had the same feeling I see.

    I'm 80 today, and soon to be 81. I think the same thing. I was a young man, it seems as yesterday.

      Life is very very strange. Most people only think about their daily meal and their car. Buying stuff.
      I am 69. Longing for the times Nature still was Nature. When the oceans and the air still were clean.
      When there was silence and beauty. Hardly any cars. No muSICK in the shops.
      When people did talk to each other, looked each other in the eyes...... instead of watching their IPhones........
      Those were the days, my friends. They will never come back again.

      I'm so sorry for your loss. After both my parents were dead, there was still a lot of family conflict between myself and my three siblings. Eventually I contacted all of them and wrote "The next family funeral we attend will be for one of us." Since then, we have been in regular friendly contact, from different parts of the world, by letter, by phone and by Zoom meetings. The days of fighting our parents' proxy wars are over.

      If someone could explain why we SHOULD smile when photographed... Or even look at the spectator. If a photo captures the moment when you smile, or if the fact that you're being photographed on th particular moment / place / people around, fine. Otherwise it's pointless - or worse, hypocrit. Anyone can tell a spontaneous smile from a posed one. And a posed smile may conceal other signs of feelings.

    The photos were lovely…there were no smiles or laughter, but they must all be close if they meet at least every year. I have three brothers I haven’t seen for years. Unfortunately my mother never encouraged loyalty in the family and actually drove wedges between us. She hated it when we were getting on with each other. After my father died when I was 32 the whole family sort of fell apart. She’s 85 now and I haven’t seen her for 25 years and I never want to. Fortunately I have a wonderful husband and son which more than makes up for my previous dysfunctional family.

    Notice that as the years go by there is more physical contact. Also the contact is more intimate. In the first few pictures, when they have an arm around one of the others it looks like they are posing but as they get older it looks more like a hug. Also, they bring their faces closer together.

      I noticed the hugs got tighter. As we age, we realize we're running out of the time we were given here on earth. In 100 years, someone looking at your gravestone in 2121 will see you were born way back in the 1900s. Much as I look at old unattended graves while visiting my parents. Some were born 'way back' in the 1800s. Life goes on, and time marches on. People that lived in the 1500s probably thought they lived in 'modern' times. Just like someone who lived in the 1990s. How could they miss a smartphone, when it hadn't yet been invented??

      the Anglo Saxons compared it to a small bird fliting through the hall . in one window out of the dark into the light for a few seconds then back out the end window into the dark.
      probably a sight they witnessed quite often

    Your video is one of the most beautiful things that I've ever seen on CZcams. To me it sums up what our lives are really all about.

    These beautiful sisters are so lucky to have one another. How wonderful that they captured their simple act of love for each other through the years.

    I feel sad that we have to age and our youth/beauty fades, but yet it's beautiful at the same time. I'm so glad they've been there for each other through the ups and downs. Thanks for sharing. 💕

    I'm an only child and always felt like I was missing out by not having siblings. This was painful to watch for me. People who get along with their siblings and have them as friends are the luckiest. Always have someone to lean on. Unfortunately it was never my decision to make, I guess my parents thought "nope no more" after seeing how much of a troublemaker I was as a child lol!

      But there are also people who have a narcissistic sibling and it's very harmful psychologically. At least you missed out on the negatives, as well.

      Many people with siblings wish they were the only child. Like me! So, no worries.

      We all have different blessings. I hope you were able to forge great friendships. Large families can be complicated but as I age, I appreciate mine more. 💗

      It's okay if you don't have siblings, a bestfriend also can be your sibling. I think what's makes someone called sister or brother are basically someone who would be there for you no matter how happy or sad you are and share their time with you, even if they're not biologically related to your family:)

      Families can be full of mischief. I have 3 brothers and two sisters and scheming by one sister created a split down the middle after father died and she decided that she alone (but by using the rest of us) she would look after her mother. Be grateful you had the attention of both parents. Get your nose off the window, all of life is a gift enjoy the bad bits too
