This week's photohunt is In Memory. It has been over 10 years for my father and just over 8 years since my mother passed away. They say time will heal sorry but there always seems to be left a hole. Recently my husband's brother-in-law passed away. He was our age so it brought back many memories for me.
It is also Mother's Day - a perfect time to remember my mother. In fact, I'm going to take the time and celebrate family. Here are two photos of my parents and I when I was a young elementary school girl. I love seeing my dad in hats. He wore them daily. And don't you love the shoes my mom were wearing?
Have a great weekend everyone.

Beautiful post, Marta. I love these photos. I did a similar post for my mom. I agree that the pain and sadness of losing a parent never goes away completely. I am so sorry that you have lost so many family members.

Beautiful photos of your mother. I'm sorry that she is no longer with you. I'm so lucky to still have mine with me - and living with me - and hiking with me (and she's 83!). I am thankful every day for all the fun we have together, because I know it's a very special and unique relationship. Check out our roses for Mother's Day:

Great shots for 'memory'. How lucky you are to have some of those old pics. I have no idea where any of mine are.

Beautiful post, Marta. FYI, my sister and I had bangs like yours - I really need to learn how to scan pictures.
