This is my mother Lillemor, or Lillan as she is often called. Born in December of 1938. The photo to the left dates back to around 1950. It is a black and white school photo that I colorised a few years ago. The snap to the right is a bit more recent. My mother battles the aging process (PD), as best she can with the help of me and my brother, and the daily visits from the home care offered by the municipality. She was born in Tungelsta and has lived here all her life. Her parents owned a greenhouse nursery and after marrying my father she started working in his greenhouse nursery. Theme Day at CityDailyPhoto. Aging.
What a lovely tribute to your mother! She has kept her good looks very well over the years.
ReplyDeleteLove the side by side shots.

ReplyDeleteI love this post, Steffe. Makes me a bit teary since it is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful shot of your mom.
ReplyDeleteA thoughtful post paying tribute to your lovely mother.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I really want to do something like this for my mother. I have some great old b&w's of her when she was young.
ReplyDeleteLovely words to accompany the images. Time passes in the blink of an eye, so it seems.
ReplyDeleteA lot of respect for your mother shines through your post today, Steffe.
ReplyDeleteA great tribute to your mother.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. She looks to be a woman of vision and determination.
ReplyDeleteI, too, like the side-by-side shots.
ReplyDeleteYou note PD at one stage. Does your mother have to copoe with Parkinson's?
I love the fact that you now have a colorised image of her in her childhood. I do hope she advised you on which colours where.
Thank you for this personal contribution to our Theme Day. Much appreciated, and much treasured ...
Thanks all. You are correct Julie.
ReplyDeleteAbout the colorizing. That was something I tried many years ago, after going through some of my parents old photos that I had scanned. I found a free software that I used, have to look and see if it is still available.
This is a very nice post. The two photos together provide a wonderful perspective on life. Your mother has aged well, she looks like a lovely person.
ReplyDeleteLovely post!
ReplyDeleteGreat post and one of your better portraits! My mother was born the same year of yours: her birthday will be later this month...
ReplyDeleteNice choice of theme day image(s).
ReplyDeleteAnd a nice photo of your mum.
