elamom's Profile

Our house is filled with photos (travel photos from our trips to Europe, pictures of our 16 month old daughter, pictures taken by friends at weddings and other major occasions), but my absolute favorite is a picture of my mom, my aunt and my uncle, taken when they were probably 7, 5 and 4. It's in black and white, and they're wearing their grubby play clothes and all lined up in front of my grandpa's cool 1950s car. My grandpa had it blown up to 16x20 or so, and duct taped it on to a cardboard mat/frame. He had it hanging in his study, probably from the moment it was developed, and when he passed away a few years ago, it was the only thing I wanted. We now have it in our bedroom, and whenever I ask my daughter where her grandma (my mom) is, she immediately points to the picture. I love it.
