Childhood Photo Recreation

Image
For our mom's 70th birthday, she had a modest request: she wanted to visit her sister in Maine and eat lobster. Wish granted! For a gift, my sister and I made her a photo album of childhood photos we recreated as adults. My sister wrote a very thoughtful poem for the card: One has their father's eyes, the other their mother's grin. Two little girls, hand in hand, laughter in the wind. You fostered independence, and taught us to be brave. You let us run, you let us fly. You held us when we fell and cried. Our roads diverged, some years ago. You loved us deeply, and let us know. Around the world and back again, we've come here, where it all began. Recreated memories have become something new. We’ve touched again our roots in a salute to you. What's old is new, what's new is old And oh what fun this story holds. We hope you laugh, and hug us tight. We love you Mom, with all our might! So enjoy your lobster, your family, and some fun
