I just had to share this photo today, in spite of my tragically high-waisted skirt. (I initially thought it was shorts, but I believe it’s actually a skirt. Though either way… still not my best look.) It’s a photo of my mom, some of our dogs and me.
My mom was a wonderful lady. I miss her today and every day. One of the things she instilled in me was a love of animals. I was looking through old photos earlier today – when I saw this one, I just had to smile.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the fantastic moms out there, and a big hug to anyone else who is missing their mom today.
Your mom was wonderful and this picture is beautiful :). Love you and can’t wait to see you!
Can’t wait to see you either! 🙂
You were a cute kid and your mom was lovely! If there was a time machine, I suspect we’d all go back and change those hideous clothes we wore as children…
So true… our clothes AND our hairstyles!
Your mother sounds like a great lady!
Licks,
Ruthie
I think so. 🙂
I imagine many of us have pictures of old clothes we cannot even remember wearing (or may not want to), but knowing your mom is in it is so special. She must have been quite a lady to have raised a woman like you.
Thank you, Mel. She was pretty amazing.
He-he, I think I had a very similar outfit:)
It’s wonderful to look back at old photos and smile, it’s even more special when you remember what the ones in it taught us:)
I agree with what Mel said:)
Maybe I was trendy? 😉
The prior younger generation’s clothing gives the current younger generation a way to feel superior… at least until the next younger generation comes along. Love seeing a little you. 🙂
Good point!
I’m sorry your mom is gone. That’s a lovely photo and what a lasting legacy she left from instilling your love of animals.
Thank you, Jodi. 🙂
What cute little blonde bambina you were! I’m sorry you lost your mom too soon. Truth is, I know someone who became an “orphan” (both parents gone) in her 70s, and hurts at that age too. We all need our mommies.
As they say in my cultural milieu, may her memory be for a blessing.
Very true – I don’t think losing your parents is ever easy, at any age.
You were lucky to have a mom who taught you something that will bring you joy your entire life.
I definitely agree. 🙂
