You know, looking at these black & white/ sepia tinged pix gave me goosebumps - I always get them when I look at old pix probably because my mind is trying to imagine what the ppl in them must have been feeling in that moment -

I am also trying to visualize your mom has I have known her in her later years from your previous posts to this younger version - she still seems a bit serious but more relaxed, happy even -

When I started this pub, I was looking forward to reading stories like these along with the cultural ones and thanks to your post, I've realized that vision :)
