Happy Birthday to a fabulous mother, someone who has travelled to Hell and back and lived to tell the tale, and still remains a beautiful individual, inside and out.
(And yes, that lump of baby is me, her 21st birthday present! Well, close enough. My birthday's in a few days.)
OOh lovely photo. I like the print on her dress. Weren't our mothers young? (well, mine was 25 when I was born, so not so young as yours, but still much younger than me!)

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteShe looks very beautiful, a baby herself.
What they all said, and my mum was also 21 when I was born.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday for a few days time. Hope you have something nice planned.
ReplyDeleteAnd well done your Mum.

ReplyDeleteI was my Mum's 19th birthday pressie - it seems so wierd today.
Both very pretty, and clearly a great present to each other. Best wishes for lovely birthdays all round.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pic. Look at her beautiful arms. And I love the authenticity of the ragged, much-thumbed frame.
ReplyDeleteMany happies to Duck and Mother Duck.
Happy birthday to both of you, Ducky!
ReplyDeleteI knew your brother, Jamie, and wanted to visit his grave last year in Canberra in August. I think about him a lot and wonder about him as we had our 20 year reunions last year. I see a lot of him in your Mother's photo.
ReplyDeleteOh, please don't be anonymous! I wrote a post about Jamie last August, which hopefully you will read, if you're working through the blog. I'd love to know who you are. Email me off-line: ampersandduck[at]gmail.com
