I knew your mom had, I didn't realize your dad died shortly after her. Way to go on finding the 10 dollars :) That was a big surprise I bet. Do you remember why you tucked it there in the first place? I too like that family picture; lots of love and blessings there!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-9072861397310231502014-05-07T18:29:14.701-06:002014-05-07T18:29:14.701-06:00Yea for #4!!

I cannot imagine losing both parents at such a young age. I'm sure that must have been an extremely hard time.

But to lose them both as a teen -- that really speaks to my heart. Moms make such an imprint -- I am more and more like my mom everyday in her outlook, my collecting and crafts -- and that's good with me! Love the photos and all the memories.

Cleaning, repairs, fancy dinners, picnics, games (she won them all), swimming, shooting, etc. And she could stare down the wildest child or adult and take them to their knees if they needed correcting.

It must have been very tough for you to lose both parents while still a teenager, but it ultimately served you because it forced you to become a strong, independent, self-sufficient woman like your mother. <br /><br />I have fond memories of large family gatherings like the one pictured here. They were characterized by continuous, often loud conversation, loads of laughter, good food and good vibrations. <br /><br />How many decades has it been since kids played games that didn't require gear and relied entirely on imagination and communication skills? Too many!<br /><br />That is an incredible family picture at the end of your post. There's a heck of a lot going on in that picture. A pro photographer could work all day trying to pose people in that manner and fail to capture that brilliant spontaneity.<br /><br />Have a wonderful Wednesday, dear friend Jeanie!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
