41 Years Ago

I can't believe I forgot to add this on to my Friday post, so if you didn't see my post from this morning please check out our sewing. However, today I want to remember my Mother who passed away 41 yrs ago today. She was only 61 and it was sudden, I was only 22-I would have thought I was younger. Much too young to lose a Mom, especially when I was still so immature and bratty. She never got to see me married or having children; thankfully my dad did.

This is their wedding photo-boy they were such a gorgeous couple. Many people thought my dad looked like Fred Astaire and my mom truly looked like a movie star. I still have her wedding dress and periodically pull it out for our grands to try on.  Miss you Mom.
 Joy to you!

  1. I see Kim in your mom's face, Noreen... which is interesting as I've always thought Kim looks so much like John.

  6. ((Hugs)) That was a long time ago. I lost my mother 35 years ago at 56. I was 30 years old. I often wonder how life would have been having her around all these years. What a lovely couple your parents were. My mother was lucky enough to see all of her grandchildren that were born.

  10. Oh Noreen I am soo sorry you lost your mom at such a young age. Hubby lost his when he was only 14. How hard that must have been in many, many ways. They were a VERY handsome couple! We never stop missing them do we? Hugs to you!

  11. What a beautiful picture of your Mom and Dad. I am so sorry you lost your mom so young. I lost my dad at 21 (I was HIS GIRL) and my mom at 35. It changes who you are when you lose a parent and they never get to see you grown with a life of your own. xo Diana

  13. The anniversary of a loved one's death is always a day of reflection. My own mother passed away when my children were ten and thirteen so she was able to watch them grow and they felt her love. I'm so thankful for that. My dad died when my son was an infant so neither child has any memory of him at all.

    I love the wedding photograph. What a lovely couple.
