Dear Mama,
This week my family has been vacationing and one stop was to my in-laws home. The children laughed excitedly at old photos of their dad (convinced it was really them and we were teasing)!
I noticed we didn’t have a ton of my mother in law with my husband. Plenty of dad and kids, but she wasn’t in a ton. So I asked. She said she didn’t because so many times she didn’t look how she wanted too, her hair wasn’t done, or clothes weren’t right. Her son, and my children don’t care, they just want to look back and remember her. When she is gone we won’t care if the photo we have is of her messy hair in the kitchen making breakfast, we just want to have something to look back at! I asked if she had a lot of her mom, same. We went to visit my dad and he said the same. My grandma just isn't in many at all. I can't remember her face, and I wish I had something a little more here and there to look back on.
Mamas, make sure you’re in photos with your children! Professionally (hint hint, I know a great one!) AND ask your husband, your friends to take some too! One day it won’t matter if your hair and make-up aren’t done, it won’t matter if you’re in pajamas. Go home and take photos of your mother against her will if you must. ;)
Take the photo even if you have to ask a ten year old.
Even if you have to ask a teenager who is pretending she doesn't know you.
And especially ask your husband who has no idea how to work the zoom!!
