Show us your mother.

I don't have that many pictures of my mom here with me. Most of them are at my dad's. These are some I have and are ones that I love.

Here is a strip of pictures that were taken circ 1958 when she was engaged to my dad. They got married December 27, 1958. If she was still alive, this year would be their 50th anniversary. (she passed away in 2001)

And here is a picture of her and my dad in 1959 after they got married and she was pregnant with my eldest brother.

For some strange reason, I love the "arty"-ness of this picture that was taken of her napping....circa 1958-59. I have always been drawn to the peacefulness of this picture.

And here is a picture of my mom and dad taken in the early to mid 1990's. I am thinking it was about 5 years before her passing? She always had the biggest smile.

Wow, your mom was a hottie. Now we know where your hawt genes came from!

I was getting envious, I suppose, of all the happy people posting pictures of their mums so thank you for doing it, even though yours isn't with you any more. You've inspired me to put up a picture of my mum (or at least I will do later) so thanks again.
