Mother’s Day – 2015

Mother’s Day. Here’s a retrospective of pictures of Mama that’s I’ve published through the years.

Here she is with HER grandmother, in 1921.

Here is her portrait from Junior High School (about 1932)

This is her college portrait (about 1940).

Here she is with ME when I was about 3 months old (Fall of 1944)

Here she is with all the kids (Harriet, standing, Abbie on the arm of her chair, Betty on the little stool, and Billy on her lap). (Summer of 1956)Here she is with my father in 1974.

Here they are again in 1980.

And here they are in 1982 after she lost a bunch of weight (I’m trying to do as well).

This is Mama and Papa in 1992 right after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

This is the last picture I have of her at Mama and Papa’s 50th wedding anniversary party, in June of 1994.

I still miss her, particularly on days like today, Mother’s Day, February 19th, (her birthday), and June 24th (Papa’s and her wedding anniversary).
