I think you should keep the silhouettes together as they've always been. What a precious gift you received.

My eyes teared up reading this. At one time this was your mother's entire focus. I imagine she was very pleased with her choice and excited to give the gift to her parents. Have you considered hanging them in the beach house? <br /><br />Your Friend,<br />DeborahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-48285507560882005102011-04-07T07:11:08.782-04:002011-04-07T07:11:08.782-04:00I totally get this post!I totally get this post!podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-38183533754477091902011-04-06T22:36:31.463-04:002011-04-06T22:36:31.463-04:00What a treasure to have!!!!What a treasure to have!!!!Glenda/MidSouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729065523048603563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-64461225914225318312011-04-06T19:13:09.484-04:002011-04-06T19:13:09.484-04:00What a great, heart-warming story, Cass.

I found a note once from my mom - she must have been a teenager - apologizing to my grandmother for something or other. It was very touching to see her youthful handwriting. <br /><br />I'm so glad you have those in your home.<br /><br />xo<br />ClaudiaClaudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16691249261693845371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-56193533517458346202011-04-06T13:06:48.477-04:002011-04-06T13:06:48.477-04:00Lovely story!

I am near tears. I hope the pair of pictures can stay together, it just seems that they should. My dear mother is 90 too, and my dad has been gone for over ten years already. Time just goes way too fast. Thank goodness for the younger generation and the promise of new family members who will inherit these meaningful treasures.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-48192117564760669222011-04-05T21:53:04.411-04:002011-04-05T21:53:04.411-04:00That is beyond cool.
