Do you have a photo that is a favorite, or one means a lot to you? Favorite photo is the theme for this week's #52Ancestors prompt from Amy Johnson Crow.
Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to collect many photos from the branches of my family tree. A favorite? Well, that's hard to choose!
This photo is one that makes me happy every time I look at it.
My maternal grandmother, Azile Juanita (Daughrity) Sullivan (1921-2009) is seen on the left with her lifelong friend Marguerite (Windham) Gaskin (1920-2016). Both girls grew up in Sumter, South Carolina on Church St. I believe the house in the background in the Daughrity home.
It no longer exists and the land it stood on is now a city park.
The pure joy of teenage girls hanging out together radiates from this photo! What I would give to know what tidbit of gossip, secret or joke they may have been sharing. Just look at those faces!

The couples often spent time together.
Decades later this photo was taken at the beach. They remained friends throughout their lives.
