Family Pictures
When my grandma "Baba" passed away in October of 2007, we found boxes and boxes of old photographs in her apartment. These photos had made some incredible journeys - some from Poland to Cuba to Miami. A suitcase of photographs was among the few possessions my mom's family managed to "smuggle" into the United States when they fled Cuba in 1960, so needless to say, these pictures tell many stories, and I'm lucky to have them in my collection now.
