My mom

So my cousin Rob Wagner found this old picture and sent me a copy.

My grandma and grandpa are on the right.  Julius and Louise Heising.  In the center of the picture is my uncle Ken - he was in the navy.  His first wife is back row on the right with the dark hair.  I never met her.

The three youngster on the left side are my mother in front, then uncle Ed and Aunt Jewel.

I am guessing this picture to be 1949-1950ish.

It is an interesting feeling to see my mother as a teenager.  Before she knew my Dad, before she had children, before she lost three of them.  She was just a kid.

Melancholy.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
