Happy Birthday

This is my grandmother who turned 87 today. It is only today that she told me that in 1937th – notorious for its monstrous political repressions – 24 members of her family and closest friends were murdered. 24! Poor intelligentsia.

    She was a beauty. 24 members of her family. My own family was touched by that time, and I would like for you to kiss your grandmother on the cheek and whisper to her that a guy named Mike was touched by her photo and experience.

    • Thanks very much, Mike, will do so, I’m sure she’ll be moved.

    Beautiful portraits! She looks like a movie star from one of those old movies!

    • And she never thought she was beautiful!
      It took me years to convince her :-)

  3. She is strong; especially evident in the second photo. Happy birthday Grandmother!
