This photo came up in my Facebook memories a few days ago. It had been shared on Facebook several years ago by my late sister, June.
The little girl is me, and that’s my mom holding my niece, Lita, who looks to be about two. That would make me seven.
The tank car we’re standing in front of belonged to my sister, Rose (Lita’s mom). (Check out those tiny rear view mirrors.) I don’t remember that car specifically, but when June posted the photo, I asked her whose it was, and she replied.
Even though I don’t remember this particular picture, nor when it was taken, it does bring back lots of memories. Lita was the little sister I never had, and we spent many hours playing together. My nieces and nephews were all like younger siblings to me, and we were so close in age, I certainly never felt like their aunt.
It’s always nice to add another vintage family photo to the collection. It brought a smile and so many memories.
