This is my late grandmom (‘mom mom’ to her grandkids). One day I got the bright idea to take some photos from old video of my brother’s 1982 wedding because there were some good close ups of Mom mom. Though it’s not a very clear image, it’s her classic smile and it makes me both happy and sad to see her face again. She lived to be almost 97 and I think about her almost everyday.

Amazing age….I feel pride in your words…which isn’t sad, but the loss always is.
I like your choice of a gritty effect to bring out the raw edges of your sadness.
I feel both happy and sad when I think of my Grams. Happy that I had such a wonderful woman to love me as a child, but so sad that all I have left of her are my memories. I’d give just about anything to sit down and share a pot of tea together with her.
Wow, 97! I know what it’s like to lose someone, it is sad. It’s great that we can have photos and videos to remember them by.
I did Photo Hunters today, too. I hope you get a chance to visit and post your link.

She lived so long. What times she must have had…
Thanks for stopping by.
What a poignant choice for this week’s theme. My ‘sad’ Photo Hunt is at Sacred Ruminations.
Hugs and blessings,
