Old home movies in 2020

My brother gave me a flash drive with some old family movies he’d digitized. He told me he had recorded our parents talking over the movies, and I was looking forward to hearing them tell the stories of these movies from the early days of their marriage.

It is really cool. Lots of old footage of people and places long gone - the Las Vegas strip in the early 60s, their first trip to Disneyland when my sister was a baby, my grandparents and even great grandparents.

What I didn’t anticipate was the shock of hearing my dad’s voice. He’s been gone for sixteen years now, and the sound of his voice literally brought tears to my eyes. I still miss him so much it hurts.
