Jeannette's Grandparents and brother 1970


It was the early 70's.  My parents were young and they adored their grandchildren.  My mom died two years ago.  I remember my mother as being beautiful and so nice.  She kept herself up and always managed to find a way to get her hair done every week.  She took pride in herself and taught me to always love myself and be thankful for all that I have been blessed with.  I got married young and was so vulnerable and innocent.  My self esteem was very low due to mental abuse by my husband.  Sometimes I would call my mother for advice and how to escape all the abuse.  She prayed for me on numerous occasions.  Finally, after 17 years it was over.  I became the person I am today because of her.  When I look back at my life and see some of the pictures of me when I was young I realize I was not ugly like my ex husband made me believe.  I truly thought I was ugly.  This is me in my twenties.  What do you think?
