Mom

My Mom had just finished her 1st yr of nursing school in 1948 when she quit to marry my Dad. She had 5 kids in 7 yrs and seemed to love every minute! After my Dad passed in 1977, Mom went back to nursing school - finishing when she was 60 yrs old. She retired at 78 and then took 9 month trips to teach English in Japan. I think of her everyday and she’s always the voice in my head encouraging me to do my best!
In this photo I’m sitting on her lap.

She sounds like a wonderful Mom and person. What a happy, lovely photo. What a motivated , adventurous person to do the things she did on her own later in life. What a great role model.

I remember the style of clothing so well - had little pinafore dresses like these (and so did my mom). Your mom was quite a woman. What a wonderful picture to have.
