My Mom’s Birthday, 2011

Today would have been my mom’s 90th birthday. Or her 89th. Or her 88th. She had birth certificates that would have reflected each of those ages and I don’t think that she knew for certain herself. My guess is that 90th is correct.

The picture above is of her and my dad at an age slightly older than most of the others I’ve posted here. I don’t know for certain when it was taken but my guess would be in the early 1960s. She’d’ve have been in her forties, he just about fifty.

I’m still not doing too well.

Happy Birthday, Mama!

    I wouldn’t want to read too much into a photo, but that’s a good look your dad has for your mom.

  • Yes, I thought so, too.

    Mama often shared the story of a woman friend who told her once, “I’d give my eye tooth if my husband looked at me once, the way Fred looks at you!”
