Granny Bain, 1927-2017.

I’m so very thankful I got to have you in my life. I’m so thankful I had you to guide me and to be there for me. I’m so thankful you were there for me my whole life. People always said we looked alike, in the photo on your wedding day 1948 you can see the likeness, the face shape, the eyes and the nose, oh that nose and the blackbirds on it. We always had a special relationship. I miss you every day. You were the first phone call when I passed my CA. You were always my biggest supporter. Even though in the end we lived so very far apart I always thought of you and wanted to make you proud. I can only hope that I’m half the mother that you were. I hope some of you rubbed off on me. You are the most amazing woman I will ever meet. I love you more than you will ever know. You are my Wonder Woman, you are my Rock. Thank you.

(i took a guess on the wedding photo, she was 21 when she got married so 1948, HOWEVER, her birthday is September and she got married Aug 5, so im not sure if it was actually 1947 when she was almost 21)

hahaha either way its more than 5 years ago :)
 
Oh my goodness! I just had the best time looking through each and every one of these older photos! I really loved seeing all of them and the memories you all captured for this challenge!
 
This was such a great challenge and I actually scrapped a photo, these challenges are bringing about miracles I tell you! Thanks so much for your thoughtful care in planning the challenge and all your work on our behalf!

 
I can't believe I am still working on this page... I was one of the first to read the challenge, when it was posted and the first to comment in the thread! Karen's page gave me a quick idea, and I ran with it.. Stayed up till 4 AM that night laying it out... but other than the content no idea what I wanted to do with the page... have been tweaking it ever since... It is an important, to me, page, and I wanted it perfect!!!! Will be posted soon!!! Life did sort of get in the way also!
 
One of the oldest photos I already have scanned. My grandma on Easter morning, 1952, back when my dad was 13.
 
Perfect challenge for me to get another layout created for the albums I plan on getting printed about major vacations in my past. This was from 1977 which is stated in the journaling.
