JJ: Photos from the Past

Mom & Dad's wedding day: Tom Riedel, Dad, Mom, Mary (Pat) Riedel

Mom with me.

Dad with me.

Grandma Streit always told me I looked just like Ian, but I see no resemblance other than the baldness. I often wonder, had he lived, if he would have been happy with the way I have turned out. Perhaps some day I will know. Then again, I suspect I'd be a different person if he had not died so soon, when I was just two. TBC (Me)
