Mom worked the past two nights. I often dream about her when she is not here-always seem to wake up and feel disappointed when I realize she is not there with me.
So, this morning, as I was waiting to hear the garage door open signaling the return of my sweet baby-puller-outer wife, I was picking out the first notes of "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" on the piano, I spotted this old photo.
This has been in Muma's house for the past 30+ years. I scanned it in and tried to adjust for the changes the years had made--don't I wish I could do that in real life some times--and here it is.
Mom was beautiful in this picture-stunningly so. But you know what? She still is. I am often amazed at her beauty and her goodness. And I am always grateful that she chooses to continue to put up with me.
So here is a picture of mom just before we got married. Yes, she looks serene and beautiful. She still does. I looked dazed and confused. I often still do.

You both haven't changed. I really love this picture, thank you for putting it up!
now this is something I think should be inculded in journals for kiddies. Maybe blogs are the new version of journal. Love you both--and thanks for letting us kids gray you up a bit. Did that come out like i meant?
Why has it taken me whole month to find this post??? I love that picture and I love the two of you. Thanks for raising a great son for me to marry.
Thanks for posting such a sweet post.
