Me, Long Ago

Monday, February 1, 2010

One Christmas my mother's gift to my father was a photo album. Thick wood cover. Black interior pages. My mother's handwriting, in white, beneath each picture. This is something we'll treasure and, I hope, add to, she wrote, for it will become more precious as time goes by.

Beneath this photograph, she wrote: Here we are: Bethie at 5 months. Jeffie at 2 1/2 years.

Photographs have a magical quality about them. I've gathered so many from my aunt's home this past summer, and I delight in looking at them.

Your mother was very wise :)

I absolutely love to look at old family photos. And your mother was right -- they do get more precious.

I love how both your mother and father are looking down...at their beautiful children.
