| Two Great Ladies here....one being my special Mom Helen and the other my Aunt Sophie...who was our "second Mom"....and Dad to all of us. Mom is on the right and was six years old in this picture and Aunt "Soph" was ten. The photo was taken in 1931. We received this dear old photo this past December...just days before Christmas. It came as a surprise to us from a country neighbor who had a connection to our family when Mom was a child. There are no old photo albums....nothing to give us much of a glimpse of when they were children. So this made my heart soar...two little girls who I knew as my strength,my life,my angels... I see them as children now.... Keeping the child within them provides comfort somehow... Their sweet young faces bring only happy thoughts this Mother's Day. Missing their presence here... Knowing they are sisters together in Heaven... |

| If you look closely you will see this very same prayer book in Aunt Sophies hand. I have kept it safe all these years not knowing the story behind it... Now I know... Written in Polish this sweet little prayer book keeps the memory of them close...the memory of two children who grew up to live a lifetime of Love.... Thank you my two Great Ladies.... I would not be who I am today without you.... |
~Sending love to all on Mother's Day~
