Every year we spend the New Year together, we dance, sing and share as a family, and that year was no exception… and there, this photo was born. I took that photo and as soon as my grandfather saw the camera he began to laugh and joke, he has always been like that and he makes people smile very easily. I know that even as the years go by, I will continue to teleport back to that day just by looking at this photo and I will continue to relive these kinds of moments. Thanks for reading.
