Your mother was lucky to have such nice photos taken and saved. Today we take hundreds of photos of our children or grandchildren, but in those days...

Oi Sonia, desculpe a minha desatenção. Estou super em falta com você, sem respoder e-mails, mas logo as coisas voltam ao normal. Vim deixar meu abraço pelo dia das mães e encontro esta belíssima homenagem, com fotos tão significativas. Que você tenha curtido bastante o seu dia com a linda filha. Beijos.

Sonia, curiosamente seu público(visitas) em Inglês é três vêzes maior do que o em Português. Vamos reverter essa proporção.Nada contra, mas fazer sucesso lá, já é meio caminho para a fama aqui! hahaha! Bjs e Parabéns!

Sonia, you always post the most beautiful images.
These are beautiful. I especially like the angel one and the mariner one - too cute. Are there particular posts I can read in your blog about your family?

Such beautiful memories!
I took my children to Salzburg, for a surprise mother's day lunch with my mother. We spent a wonderful day together.
My own daughter made a mother's day tribute on her blog,
This Window. Moved me to tears.
Hug from Vienna,

These are such lovely photos, Sonia. How fortunate you are to have them. Much of my family's photos and records were unfortunately destroyed in England during WWII. I hope you had a very Happy Mother's day yourself. You have such beautiful children.

I LOVE that you have so very many wonderful "old" pictures...What a fantastic legacy to hand down from one generation to another....And they are in such good shape! Some people have no pictures and others very few. You have a "treasure trove"...! WONDERFUL!
