My mother June Justine Powell born June 18 1928, died last May just weeks before she turned 82....the TOP OF THE BLOG is a page from her high school year book......it is great to be able to take a look at a picture and description of a parent in their youth...untouched by marriage and all the things that life has in store for us over time... being told that your voice was not opera quality...dashing your only real dream of a career......four children, two marriages...losing my Dad in a terrible car crash when I was 4 1/2, my sister 1 1/2 and my mother eight months pregnant with my baby sister .....in this picture her eyes do sparkle and shine and are so filled with possibilities ...I remember her always being beautiful but never so pure and untouched as she appears in this photo....
the composite photo is of my Mom and Dad ( John Griscom McGuire III 1944) on each side of my High School 1968 graduation picture....I can see both my parents in me and as I am typing this blog it is my mothers hands before me......kind of a cozy feeling...unpacking and putting out family photos has been great fun ....
if your Mom is still around give her a hug ...lol...I do miss mine....
