Yes, lo these many years ago, when I was 18 and a senior in high school, I was awarded a full tuition scholarship to the college of my choice and my mom and I were ecstatic. Hugging and jumping for joy. I was blessed with a great mom and a great dad too, and I dearly miss them.
Yes, that's a reason to celebrate! Yea!!! Fun to look back at those happy moments in photos.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Pure joy!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful memory keeper this photo is, so spontaneous, so beautiful and what did you take in college?
ReplyDeleteWhat an accomplishment to receive a full-tuition scholarship! It would appear that you have used your abilities very wisely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet memory, sounds like you were blessed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute photo! I am still so very close to my mom, and so thankful that she's still here. We have been best friends for a very long time. And, as your photo shows, there's nothing quite like those times when something I do makes Mom happy!
ReplyDeleteGOD BLESS!
Lovely pictures of two lovely ladies, thank you for sharing these! I, too, feel very grateful for having the wonderful parents I have.
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures. What a special moment to have a dream come true. I think one of the great blessings of life are caring parents.
ReplyDeleteWhat terrific pictures. How wonderful that you received a scholarship to the university of your choice. I'm sure both parents were very proud of you.
ReplyDeleteMom's...your picture of celebration with your's is priceless. Celebrating those things in life with a Mom is so precious. I have many memories of celebrations with my mom, but now she been gone over 20 years, and I miss her every day.

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to love and be loved by your parents. I didn't always feel this way, so when I see other people's pictures of those moments, it strikes me as really special.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious moment that was for you and your family. Congratulations on such an achievement. I can see that your mom was very proud and overjoyed at your having successfully been awarded full tuition. She still would be very proud of you today.
Enjoy your last week in October.

Lovely memories and photo of you and your dear Mother.
ReplyDeleteYou did indeed both have much to celebrate!
Thanks for visiting me and as for the weather here in NZ - they have been having snow down then South Island which is really rare for this time of the year.
I live in the North Island where the weather is considerably warmer, in fact we have noticed people in swimming in the sea. I will wait until it gets warmer though.
Happy new week
hugs

Its hard to loose a parent, but so good that your memories of them were loving ones. These pics are a lovely reminder also..
ReplyDeleteSweet photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet photo! How wonderful for you to have such sweet memories!
ReplyDeleteMy mother has been gone for many years, but she is still in my mind daily. I am so glad that she got to see the house we now live in because she loved it.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and memories. Where did you choose to go?
ReplyDeleteA lovely moment captured. I miss mine too, but they still live in my heart.
ReplyDeleteYou can see how excited you two were. Your picture brings back memories of when I was that age too. My Mama will be 87 next week--daddys been gone quite a while. Thanks for your sweet comment on my ABC Wed post.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful memory and to have pictures! Lucky you and congrats! I also think it neat about your grandfather. I wonder what do invisible zombies look like? Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThis is priceless, especially when we learn what you were celebrating. That is so wonderful that you earned and were rewarded the scholarship.
ReplyDeleteI love the old car and the roses too.
I'm sure that you do miss your parents very much.
Hugs,
