Hope you enjoy!
Oh how precious :-) Love it . They sure made it look a lot like being a Mom not the part in life and death . It would inspire a little girl I would think but back when these were wrote remember little girls was taught early on how to be a Mom not many career choices . A part of history that is gone . Girls learn now the world is open to anything they want to be . Thanks so much for sharing it :-))))))))))))
