A Moo or Two - Yesterday



My mother was born in 1898 and this photo was taken when she was 18 in 1916. She had six children and I was the big surprise package, arriving in the early 1940's when she had reached her mid-forties. Sadly, I have only short memories of the yesterdays I shared with my Mum who died when I was in my early teens. When I think of "Yesterday", I always think of her.

  6. Beautiful moo! And beautiful but sad story. My mother also was in her forties when I was born. But she died at the age of 81. So I had more time to get to know her. Sorry your mother died when you were still so young. But this moo is a great way to honour her.

  8. It's such a shame to hear your Mum died whilst you were so young Marie, but what a wonderfully fitting tribute you've made to her here. You've done her proud my friend.
