My Parents

2008.04.02
My mom in her twenties, my dad thinks this is when she was 25 or 26

My mom today. won't say her age ; )

my dad when he was about 29 or 30, he thinks

my dad today. again, won't say his age, i'll let everyone guess. : )

When I saw the theme of the week was "old" it reminded me that I wanted to scan all my parents' old photographs before they faded. They haven't been stored very well so a lot of them have already lost a lot of color or are turning kind of brownish.

Anyway, I found these old photos of my parents when they were in their 20s so I decided to post them today. I didn't get a good picture of my parents, my mom especially refused to look at the camera, so i will change the pictures when i find better ones.

I am sad, though. Looking at my parent's picture they look so tired. Both of them work 13+ hour days, 6 days a week and about 10 hours on Sunday when they're coming to an age when they should retire. I know they come from kind of a different way of thinking where you work as hard as you can for as long as you can but I wish so much that I could provide them with the means to just stop working and relax. Instead, I am an out of work actor. Well, at least my brother is a lawyer and is doing well.

oldbabe Ah, they age well. I couldn't even begin to take a guess as to their age...and what does it matter?

In this day and age...who can retire? They should at least slow down a bit!

And, yes, do get those old photos scanned asap!

Nayah Your parents are beautiful... They are lucky to have you! Such kind words for them....I agree that it isn't normal to work so many hours at a certain age....I wish you also good luck for everything! :)))
