I’ve talked about my maternal Grandparents a few times before on this blog. They are both gone now, and I miss them so much. I regret everyday not spending enough time with them while they were alive. I had never seen photos of them when they were young, or even of my Mom as a child. But yesterday my Aunt Sheri sent over a ton of old family photos from their albums and I got to see, for the first time, just how beautiful they both were. I wanted to share some of the pictures with all of you.
Here they are on their wedding day.
My grandma as a young woman.
On Labor Day 1951.
This one has got to be my favorite. My mom (Chris) was born in July 1951, so this must have been in September of 1951.
And this one is from Feb 1967. Will you look at the size of those clams they found! I think that is my Uncle Robert with them.
I miss them both a ton, but these pictures sure help to make me feel close to them again. Thank you Sheri for sending them!
It’s funny, today is actually my paternal Grandmother’s birthday, with whom we celebrated this last weekend. I don’t have any photos of her when she was young, nor have I seen any, but here is a more recent one I found of her. I’m going to have to ask to see photos of her when she was younger next time I see her.
Happy birthday Grandma, I love you.
