The Picnic Picture


This is Amanda Javorina's favorite picture of her mother. It was taken in the late 70's at a picnic while she was still a single lady. She writes: "My mom passed away in 1994 at age 37 and I found these pictures a few years after she passed.What I miss the most about my mom is that I don't know the woman in these pictures. I only remember her being sick. It's my favorite picture because she seems so happy and carefree. Plus the tank top she's wearing is amazing. "

You made me cry. You made me laugh. I am a Mum in my early thirties who has suffered a life-threatening illness. Your story (and the image of your mum) touched my core.

This brought tears to my eyes. That's a beautiful sentiment - the notion of Mom before Us. Thank you for sharing.
