A very beautiful bride!
Thank you, officialfuel. She was truly beautiful in many ways.
I just love the "are we done yet?" face in the childhood photo!!! :D
What a beautiful mother you have! Like a movie star! What a lucky man...
@Esther, I love it, too. My grandfather was a photo bug and he used to take endless pictures of the kids.
@Jason, if it makes you feel any better, he was a Merchant Marine before he was in the army because he could join when he was younger. He apparently saw more action as a MM, too. My poor grandmother thought he was safer with them.
@Mrj, unfortunately, he didn't have the brains to realize it. :)
Thank you everyone. My mother was one of the gentlest, most open-hearted people you could ever meet. Still miss her.
lovely :)
Thanks for the love everybody. I haven't been on much lately but I plan on posting more soon. Today is my birthday!
Happy B Day TSA !! You have a beautiful family !!
Thanks everybody. Had a good day with my kid. Even went thrift store shopping. Who woulda thunk it?
