Pictures from my
life |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This is me when I was younger. It
was a rare opprotunity when my family could go to the photo studio, so
this is a rare picture. If you can see the wreath around my head, that
is common to what I would always wear. I have little braids in my hair
(the front part) and I pull them back around my
head. |

This is my fiance, John Davies.
He is 21 in this picture. When I had to take care of my sisters after
my mother died, he was there for me. I don't actually remember how we
met, but I know that he was special. He told me one day that we were
going to America. I took a train over to his house and met his family
there. Then we got to the docks and SUPRISE! We were going on
Titanic! On board, we used to go for walks, talk about life, sit for
hours and do nothing. We were the perfect match. At night, I would sit
and think or read a book. John would usually be writing something
down. Usually they were ideas. He was very intelligent. When he
wasn't writing, he was reading. He loved to stay educated. That was
his main goal. We were always found together though. He is my love and
I know he is also my soulmate. |

This is Joseph Davies, John's
brother. He is 17 here. He is a mischevious little bugger. He was
always playing jokes. When we got on Titanic, I finally realized Joseph
loved me too. He came up to me one day and told me he loved me. Then
he asked if I would get off Titanic with him when we got into New York.
I confessed my love for John and refused. I felt bad, and I never told
John he said that. |

This is Alfred Davies, John's
other brother. He's 24 in this picture. Alfred had gotten married the
day before we sailed on Titanic. He couldn't bring his bride with him,
so he was thinking of her the entire voyage. He was a kind man. He was
often quiet, but laughed when a joke was told. He's the nice kind of
guy you would want as a brother. I'm sure John was glad that he was
his. |

This is John's Uncle James
Lester. Here he looks kind of old, but he really wasn't. He was nearly
40. Uncle James (yes, I called him this too) was a kind man. He was
very intelligent and always reading something. You could usually find
him in a recreation room reading away. When he rarely looked up to talk
with someone, he would talk of physics, or something along the lines of
Science in general. Usually no one understood what he was talking
about. |

This is a third class cabin. It
actually isn't mine, but is closest to what it looked like. John and I
shared a room, Joseph and Alfred shared another, and then John's Uncle
James had his own down the hall. John's and mine actually had 2
separate beds like in the picture. Our room was to the left and
straight ahead after boarding. |
|
|
|
|
This is the third class entrance
from the poop deck. John and I used this many times coming in from our
late night walks. This is where I went down for the last time. It was
the last time I saw the skies here as I descended to find John after we
hit the iceberg. |

This is the third class dining
room. John and I met Joseph and Alfred here many mornings to have some
breakfast. Uncle James was usually here reading a book while attempting
to eat. It had a homely atmosphere and everyone was
friendly. |

This is the silverware for the
third class to use. This was recovered from the wreck of
Titanic. |

This, to me, is the most important
part of the ship. This is where John and I would walk around most- the
poop deck. This was our favorite place to be. We were always here
holding hands, sitting on the benches, looking at the stars at night,
and even watching the sun rise from here. It was our one spot that we
could call our own. We were always leaning on the right side. This is
also where I was when the Titanic hit the iceberg. I was on the left
side, opposite of the iceberg. This was the last time I was on the
deck. Then I went down the third class entrance to find
John. |

And last of all, we have Titanic.
In this picture, she is sailing away from Southampton. She will always
be remembered for her terrible collision with the iceberg and her
exceding luxury. But what I remember her for is her nobility. She was
a noble ship. She brought John and I together. Even though we died on
her, she is ours. I sailed on that ship, and she will forever live in
my heart as the ship that sailed into heaven. |
