Just Remember the Past

I have had a birthday this month and turning 60 is a time to remember things from the past.  It seems like only yesterday my girls were small.  It also brings me to the realization that life as we know it is not forever.  Life can be hard and situations can be hard but you need to move on.  It never stays the same. 

My youngest daughter makes me smile.  My oldest one has decided that she has no reason to have me in her life because of a decision I had to make.  She will not forgive me for living my own life as I see fit so I have to let her go.  It has been hard but mostly because this decision she made effect both me and my granddaughter. 

One of the things that has happened the oldest is in possession of all the family pictures.  My youngest has captured a few of them for me and this was the best birthday gift she could have given to me.  It did take me down memory lane and it was most pleasant because I choose to think about the good things. 

 

This is my sweet father when he was quite young.  I miss him and my mom terribly.  Hopefully I will get the wedding pictures and my mom's pictures back some day.

 

This is my mama.  She used to rock me when I first woke up from a nap.  Some how I believe that heaven is your mama rocking you.  This is a very late picture of her.  I am so happy to have it.

This is my two girls.  The oldest on is in the back.  The one I thank for the pictures is in the front.

They were beautiful children and I love them both with all my heart.

 

 

Aww! Making peanunt butter and jelly sandwiches.  She is so intent on what she is doing.  Very cute!

 

 

Quite pretty isn't she.  She still is.

 

 

 

Here she is now.  Never know what color her hair will be but usually red or black. 

I love you sweetheart!
