Happy Birthday Mom...

Mother 1948

My mother would have been 80 years old today...This photo was taken in 1948 at her wedding reception in her parents yard when she was 19 years old...If I had to describe her in one word it would be "unfullfilled"....and the second word would be "FUN"!

Your mother is absolutely, splendidly gorgeous. I'm stunned. You don't see many women so naturally beautiful.

My mom was unfulfilled too. And she didn't have a lot of fun left in her by the time I came along, but I saw it there. Good that you saw your mom's fun.

This is such a rich posting. Your beautiful mother, unfullfilled, fun, remembered, and still loved, of course. I feel the poignancy.
